SrI VenkatEsAya Nama:
Salutations to Lord VenkatEsa , who assigned
the responsibilities of
commander in chief on the son of Suvarchala Devi !
In the Krita Yuga, an Apsaras
named Kunthalaa was cursed by Durvaasa Maharshi, was born
as the incredibly beautiful
daughter of a hunter and was named Suvarchalaa. Once Varunaa,
attracted by her, cohabited with
her and gave her a handsome son blessed with all auspicious
attributes, born in Adi
maasam under the star of Pushyam. After some time, the boy sought
refuge with Kashyapa Maharshi and
imbibed Vedas and Vedanta from him and performed
hard penance for 12 long
years on Vrishabhaadri. The propitiated Lord blessed the boy
with "Saaroopyam" or
appearance akin to Himself, with four arms holding Shankham,
Chakram etc. This ardent devotee
of the Lord is known as Vishvaksena and has been
entrusted with the military and
administrative responsibilities of the Commander-in-chief of
the Lord's army and that of the
various universes.
