73) Upatyakta pradesata Shankara
dhyaata moortaye SrI VenkatEsaaya nama:
Salutations to Lord VenkatEsa , who assigned
Kapila theerttham
as the site for Rudran's residence and meditation
on Him !
When the Lord took up residence in
Venkatam, Sri Rudra rushed there,
intent on worshipping Sri
Venkateswara. When Srinivasa inquired of Rudra
whether the latter needed any boon
. Shankara submitted that the one and only boon
he desired was to live wherever
the Lord was present. Sri Venkatesa told Rudra that
He (Sri Venkatesa) would be
residing in the Tirumala Hills till the end of the Sveta Varaha
Kalpam and advised Rudra to make
the north east part of the Tirumala valley ,
the place of his residence.
Accordingly, Shankara made the appointed place
his residence and is known by the
popular name "Kapilesvara" . Shankara resides
there unto this date in the
Kapileswara Tirttham, meditating on Sri Venkateswara
to his heart's content.
