89) Chola puthra priyaaya Sri Venkatesaaya Nama:
Salutations to Lord Venkatesa , who is very
fond of
Akaasa Raaja of Chola dybasty !
This naama relates to the Sthala puraanam.When
Mahaa Lakshmi
left Sri Vaikuntam in anger over the insult of
Bhrugu Maharaishi ,
Vaikuntanathan could not bear His solitude and
made His way to Venkatadhri
and entered in to an ant hill under a
tamarind tree on the southern bank of
Swamy Pushkarani . Brahma and Rudra assumed the
form of a cow and calf
to serve their Lord .Mahaa Lakshmi took the form
of a cowherdess and sold
the cow and calf to the Chola king , who sent
the cow for grazing to Venkataadhri
hills .The cow stood over the ant hill every day
and emptied its udder to feed
the Lord inside the ant hill.The shepherd now
understood why the cow was
not yielding any milk . He hit the cow with
an axe and the Lord came out of
the ant hill to recieve the blow directed at the
cow. The blood spilled over the cow and
it ran back to Chola king's court to invite the
attention of the chola king ;
Latter arrived at the scene and recieved the
curse of th Lord for the offense
committed by his servant ( the cowherd ) and was
told that the king's
curse will be lifted , when he would present a
crown for the Lord during the occasion of
the marriage of his daughter Padmaavathi to
Him ( the Lord) in the next birth.
The Chola king was born as the brother of
Thondaimaan with the name of
Aakaasa Raaja . He married his daughter Pamaavathi
to the Lord and became dear to
the Lord .
