93) VarAhAchala NaaTAya SrI VenkatEsAya Nama:
Salutations to Lord VenkatEsa , who is the Master
of
VarAhAchalam !
Thirumala was originally known as the Aadhi VarAha
KshEthram. VarAha BhagavAn stays with Bhumi Devi
here . Once Aadhi VarAhan commanded Garudan to
bring
KiritAchalam from SrI Vaikuntam for creating a
home for
Bhumi Devi . Next , He asked Garudan to bring the
sacred
waters from Vaikuntam and had it placed in
KiritAchalam.
That sacred assembly of waters came to be known as
Swamy
PushkaraNi . Aadhi VarAhan took up His
residence along with
His Devi on the western bank of Swamy PushkaraNi
and enjoyed
His stay there . At a later time , VarAha
BhagavAn gave permission to
Lord VenkatEsa to take up residence on the
southern bank of
Swamy PushkaraNi. With the passage of time , SrI
VenkatEsA's
prabhAvam ( glories) increased and He came to be
known as
VarAhachala NaaTan . Lord VenkatEsa never forgot
that
the sacred hills(VarAhaachalam ) belonged
originally to Aadhi VarAhan.
Therefore , even today the food offerings are made
first to
Aadhi VarAhan following the command of Lord
VenkatEsan .
It is also the wish of Lord VenkatEsan that
the worshippers
climbing the hills of Venkatam should offer
their salutations to
Aadhi VarAhan first before coming to His sannidhi.
