Salutations to Srinivasa, who manifested due to immersion in the milk of black cows
 
A group of cowherds came to Emperor Tondaman, within whose kingdom Tirumala hills lay, with a rather strange and incredible story.According to them, their cows were playing truant and emptying their udders in an anthill, on their way home from grazing. However vigilant they were, the cows evaded their masters and showered their bounty on the anthill dutifully, every day. Unable to put up with such insubordination from their charges, the cowherds represented to the Emperor for some remedial action.
 
The curious Emperor accompanied the cowherds to the anthill and, prompted by a dream he had the previous night which coincided with the account of the cowherds, dissolved the anthill with pot after pot of milk from the Neela dhEnus( KaarAm pasu)  . Lo and behold, what emerged was a magnificent vimaanam and resplendant in the same was the glorious form of Sri Venkateswara, holding the Sudarsana Chakra, Paanchajanya etc. The Chakravartthi built a beautiful temple for the Lord, where He resides till date.
