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.
