Bhairavi?

My vague memory of Bhairavi is a wake up god song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vtvVV-DKLQ) from Vipranarayana (1954); but it seems that it is Bhupali. It is also supposed to be the favourite raga of Shanker-Jaikishen and used by them in several songs. Here is a video about their adoption of the raga but it starts with an Egyptian song by Asmahan which is close to 'ghar aya mera pardesi' from Awara https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-wPa4S8FtQ
A list of Hindi film sons based on Bhairavi here and a Telugu article on Bhairavi by Kodavatianti Rohiniprsad
