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.
