16) Girikunja vihaarine SrI Venkatesaaya Nama:
Salutations to Lord Venkatesa , who sports
in the foothills of
Venkatam mountains !
After Bhrugu Maharishi visited Vaikuntham to test
as to who among
the thrimurthys is the Supreme being and
kicked SrIman Naaraayanan
in the chest as a part of that test , Mahaa
Lakshmi got offended and
left Vaikuntam and went to Kolhapur ( Karaveera
Sthalam ) . Our Lord was
dejected and He left Vaikuntam as well and
arrived at the banks of
Svarnamukhari river at Thirumalaa to perform tapas
to reunite with
Mahaa Lakshmi.
Meanwhile Mahaa Lakshmi incarnated as the
daughter of Akaasa raajan ,
king of ThoNdimandalam .The name Padhmaavathi was
given to Her
since She appeared on a lotus.She grew up to be a
beautiful maiden .
One day Lord Srinivasa took on the role of a
hunter and rode on His
horse chasing an elephant in the wild forest .
Lord SrinivAsan roamed in
the foothills of Venkatam mountains for "
hunting " and gained the name
of "Giri kunja Vihaaran" at the
end of His purposeful roamings . He entered
the sporting grounds of princess Padhmaavathi
during this roaming .Rest is history
leading up to Padmaavathi Kalyaanam .
