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.
