Brahmam Okate ( God is One)…..
Sri Annamarcharya is a very famous poet who had sang many devotional hymns on Lord Venkatchalapathi. He is the reincarnation of Sri Narayana’s Nandaki Sword. Like a sword, his poems cuts through the confusion, doubts, and cobwebs of mundane living to reveal the supreme TRUTH who stands SRI VENKATACHALAPATHI on the 7 hills.
One of the poems he wrote, is Brahmam Okate.. The lyrics and translation given below.

The greater land of BRAHMINS(REALISED,educated people) is ONE(SAME), like the EARTH of the CHANDALAS(uneducated, uncivilised people).

The NAME IS ONE: SRI VENKATESHWARA , that EVENS both good deeds and bad deeds.
Thaaye Yashoda was composed by one of my favourite composers, Oothukaadu Venkatasubbiyer. He is one of the lesser recognised amongst Carnatic (Bhakti) composers (unlike Thiagaraja or Dikshitar). There is so much love in the lyrics that I find it difficult not to let myself get carried away when he describes the various antics of Sri Krishna. Some of the finest poetry has been composed in describing the playful young Krishna as well as the romantic Krishna (well, poets don’t seem to have been interested in his ever famous Gitopadesha!). The introduction of English lyrics (as a translation of “undan paiyannai pOlavE inda vayyagattil oru piLLai ammamma nAn kaNDadillai” which means “I haven’t seen any other child in this entire world, like your (Yashoda’s) son Krishna”)
