Sri Vadiraja Tirtha, Dvaita traditionDeity: KrishnaMetre: Anushtup20 verses
"Palayachyutha" means "Protect me, O Infallible One." Sri Vadiraja Tirtha wrote this as a personal plea to the Krishna deity at Udupi, describing his beauty from face to feet. It's one of the most beloved compositions in the Madhwa tradition. The melody is simple, the Sanskrit is accessible, and the devotion is completely direct. No philosophical abstraction, just a saint asking Krishna for protection. He calls Udupi "Raupya Peeta," the silver seat. If you've been to the Krishna Matha, you'll feel it in every verse.
