"Paternal Songs", Hayrik Muradyan's voice decifered and bonded by A. Pahlevanyan, "New book" publishers, Yerevan, 2007 (arm).

The song is dedicated to the army general Vardan Mamikonyan, who, in the 5th century, led the Armenian troops against the Persian army at the battle of Avarayr, in the name of their Christian faith. He was killed on the battlefield and canonized by the Armenian Apostolic Church.
