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.
