MYTHOLOGY
Why are there so many temples today when the crowds of Pilgrims flock to Tirupati? Not without reason. The glory of Mahavishnu performed in this Seshadra is many. Not in a day or two. The Venkateswa Perumal was drunk in Tirupathi, a 'drama' carried out by many geniuses, and Some of the sages led by Kasyapa on the banks of the Gangas. Narada saw it and asked for whose benefit this yagna is being performed. But the sages could not answer it, so they asked for help from lord sage.
As he had an eye on the inner sage of the sage, he had more wisdom than the other sage . He thought of a solution and went to Satyalokam to see Brahaman. Then, Lord Brahmadeva recited the four Vedas to reciting Sri Narayana with his four faces with the help of Goddess Saraswati.
He did not notice the arrival of the sage. After some time, the sage decided that he was not worthy of worship and went to Kailasam to visit Lord Shiva, But Shiva did not find the sage as he had some important discussion with Parvati Devi. Parvati Devi, who saw the sage, told shiva that he did not like the sage's interference during his important counseling and proceeded to destroy him. So the enraged Lord Sage curses Lord Shiva and moves on from there.
Then Vaikundam came to see Mahavishnu. But he did not notice that the sage came, as he sat at the feet of Mahavishnu to perform the service of the Adivasis umbrella. So, in a fit of rage, Lord Saru reached the chest of Mahavishnu, the adobe of Lord Mahalakshmi.
Thinking to quench the sage's anger, Perumal grabbed Eddie's Kicking leg and pressed his feet gently. The sage's anger subsided. At the same time. Mahavishnu broke the eye of the sage's leg. The eye on the foot gave him so much pride. Sage Vishnu apologized and realized that he was the best of the three.
However, Sridevi did not want her bridegroom to apologize to the sage who had kicked him and went to a place called Kolhapur in Maharashtra today. In search of him. Mahavishnu came to earth and began to meditate on the anthill of a tamarind tree on the southern bank of Pushkarani in Venkatamalai.
In this, Brahmar and Eesan came to the earth in the form of a cow and calf with the intention of helping the goddesses. Knowning all these associations through Lord Surya, Mahalakshmi, on his advice, transformed into a cow shephered and sold the cow and calf to the Chola King. The servants of the Chola King who bought them would send them to Venkatamalai.
There he found Mahavishnu is an ant's mouth and started milking himself. Mahavishnu also got hungry. Meanwhile, the King's servant followed the cow, observing that the cows were not milking at the palace. He noticed that it was wasting milk automatically in one place and he threw his axe at the cow. The worker was shocked to see Mahavishnu, the weapon he had thrown, bleeding.
The Chola King saw a cow with blood stain and followed it to find out what happened. you woke up to find your servant dead neran an ant cancer. Then Vishnu appeared to him and cursed the King for the crime committed by his servant. But because he was wrong on the king. he promised that he would be born as king of the next birth and that he and padmavati would get his curse.
Sri Varakaswamy Temple: At the time of these incidents, Tirupati mountain was known to be the home of varakaswamy. Mahavishnu, who had sent a blessing to the Chola King, met Swami with the name of Srinivasan to seek a place for him. He was also amused Thankfully, it is a should bath in pushkarani and worship the Swami and perform pooja and first then visit Venkatesa Perumal.

He was born and grew up with all the resources he could not bear. So when he plowed his land to scraifice, a beautiful lotus flower appered. upon seeing it, i saw a baby girl in it. Azereerik asked if it would be taken to cultivate all the benefits. As he appeared in the lotus flower, he was nicknamed 'Padmavati' and developed into a special.
Meanwhile, Mahavishnu who lived by the name of srinivasan saw Padmavati. She immediately went to the care of herself as a mother, telling the story of her birth and telling her the need to marry Padmavati. At the same time, King Ahasa marry resident of mount Venkata .
