Sri Venkatesaaya nama:
Salutations to Sri Venkatesa, who
established Sri Garuda in the hill ranges of Tirumala
Sorrowed by the Lord's separation
due to His taking up permanent abode at Tirumala, Sri Garuda began to
contemplate removing the Seshaachalam, along with the Lord, and retransporting
it to Vishnuloka. Amused at this thought, Srinivasa summoned Garuda and told
him of His (Lord's) intention to reside at Tirumala till the end of the Sveta
Varaha Kalpa and advised Vainateya to take up residence on the southern part
of the hill range, simultaneously instructing Adisesha to accomodate Garuda
too, in the form of the Garudaachalam, on his (Adisesha's) spacious back.
Garuda complied happily, joyous at the prospect of regaining proximity
to the Lord.
Another intrepretation is that Garuda at one time
displayed his saathvika ahankaaram and informed that he was stonger than
the Lord Himself. That act of ahambhaavam led to
him (Garudan) losing all his feathers .He became flightless as well as bereft
of having Vedaas as his limbs . He prayed to Lord
Venkatesa to forgive his offense. Parama dayaalu , Lord Venkatesa
reestablished Garuda's erstwhile status and
blessed him to be His flag and vaahanam . This quarrel based on the display
of ego by Garudan is said to have taken place ,
when Garudan was engaged in bringing nectar from Devalokam to free
his mother from bondage to his
step mother( Swamy Desikan's Garuda Panchaasath Slokams 3 , 4 and 7).
