39. AgasthyAbhyarTitaa sEsha jana-dhrug gOcharAya
SrI VenkatEsaaya nama:
Salutations to Lord VenkatEsa , who responded to
the appeal of Sage Agasthya
to become
visible to the eyes of all of His devotees !
When MahA Lakshmi left SrI Vaikuntam over the
apachAram of Sage Bhrigu , She left for
PaathALa lOkam and was worshipped there by Sage
Kapila ; later She arrived at Kolhapur in
modern day MaharAshtra and was worshipped
there with adoration by Sage Agasthya. BhagavAn
arrived at KolhApur and heard the
celestial voice there suggeting to Him to do penance at SvarNamukhari
river banks for the bhaagyam of reunion with His
divine consort . Agasthyar moved to the banks of
Swamy PushkariNi to be near Lord SrInivasan and
MahA Lakshmi . At Thirumala , Lord SrinivAsan's
vimAnam was not easily visible due to all due to
His VishNu Maaya ( Maayaa gooda vimaanAya SrI
VenkatEsaaya Nama:) . Devout sages were however
able to see the VimAnam and the Lord inside but
ordinary people not having the power of penance
could not see either the VimAnam of the Lord or
the Lord inside that VimAnam . Sage Agasthya
requested the Lord to have compassion on
all the devotees , who climbed the Thiruvengatam
hills and to bless them with the dhivya
darsanam of the Lord even
if they did not have the benefit of austere penance. Parama DayALu
Lord SrinivAsan complied with the request of Sage
Agasthya and as a result , He is visible
from then on to the eyes of all devotees and
grants them the boons that they request .
