Lyrics of "Pahi Pahimam"

     సురటి(భూపాళ) - ఆట

     పాహి పాహి మాం పరమకృపాళో

  దేహిమే త్వయి దేవసుభక్తిమ్‌॥      

అసురసంహార శ్రీవిజయగోపాల

  అమరసంరక్షణ విజయగోపాల

  వసుదేవతనయ శ్రీవిజయగోపాల

  వాసవాదినుత విజయగోపాల॥

సంగీతలోల శ్రీవిజయగోపాల

  సద్గుణశీల శ్రీవిజయగోపాల

  శృంగారరసపూర విజయగోపాల

  శ్రితజనపాల శ్రీవిజయగోపాల॥

ధీరగుణాధార విజయగోపాల

  ధేనుకాదిహరణ విజయగోపాల

  నారదమునిగేయ విజయగోపాల

  నారాయణతీర్థ విజయగోపాల॥

(Perhaps I might have heard these songs in the village. We had a unique Ashram run by two extremely ascetic nuns. I used to see the ladies carrying water from the nearby Godavari river waters. They would spend hours training young school girls in classical music and dance. Often such extracurricular activities would divert the young students from the routine school subjects and exams. But where will you get valuable training in arts and morals? I heard this song in a music concert by the Malladi Brothers. These are extraordinary compositions, sprung out of the depths of great saints. Who can compose such gems now? Or how many can sing such songs with devotion, fidelity, and flawless musicality?)
