Hi,

I am looking for the lyrics and meaning of Pahimam Sri Raja Rajeshwari by MAHA VAIDYANATHA IYER in Ragam Janaranjani? Any assistance with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Vani

A couple of minor questions:

Isn't the composer's appeal to the dEvi 'protect (pAhi) me (mAm)?

And shouldn't the anupallavI be 'Please come to/near me (Ehi) and grant me (dEhi) happiness (sukham), Oh alluring (mOhinI) divine/celestial lady (divya) mounted (vAhini) on a lion (simha)! You are the one from whom compassion (dayA) flows (pravAhinI) endlessly'?

Here is Ms. Seiko Yamamoto (a student of Sri A. Lakshman - not to be confused with Adyar K. Lakshman) performing to this composition:
