manuja abheeshta daayine SrI VenkatEsaaya nama:
Salutations to Srinivasa, who
bestows on bathers in the SuvarNamukharee river , all their heart's desires !
The Lord, pleased with Sage
Agastya's long and hard penance, told the Maharshi to seek a boon of his
desire. Agastya, who had made the SuvarNamkharee river flow from the Tirumala
Hills in response to the prayer of Devas, sought the Lord's paripoorna
anugraham for the river, such that anyone who had a dip in it would attain all
that they desired. The Lord said, "So be it", transforming the river
from a mere body of waters into a veritable Kaamadhenu, satisfying the wants
and aspirations of all those who had a dip in it.
The Skaanda Purana tells us that
the river attained this name due to its being considered by devotees to be as
precious as gold, as also due to its descending to earth (in response to
Agastya's instructions) with a deafening roar which filled the entire
atmosphere and the four directions.
