On the request of Parvati and Saraswati, Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma incarnated as a cow and a calf respectively in the Chola kingdom.This cow and calf were being grazed daily by a shepherd of Chola kingdom in the Seshachalam hills. Hence, Lord Vishnu sat inside an anthill in his disguise which was situated under a tamarind tree and started chanting the name of Goddess mahalaksmi.
Turns out, Tirupati was also the place where Adi Varaha swami rested and taught Karma Yoga to the people till the beginning of Kali Yuga after rescuing Earth from the wicked Hiranyaksha. Thus, Lord Vishnu reached the place of pilgrimage of Lord Varaha Swamy in Tirupati, Tirumala. But He failed to find her and instead settled on Seshachalam hills inside an anthill. Lord Vishnu soon arrived on earth searching for Goddess Lakshmi. She came and settled on earth in disguise as a young sage like boy in the ancient city of Karvir (Kolhapur) and meditated for Vishnu where today the Mahalakshmi temple is situated. Goddess Lakshmi, also known as Sri, had a fight with Lord Vishnu as she felt that Bhrigu insulted her indirectly by hitting Vishnu on his chest where Sri lived and thus left Vaikuntha. Bhrigu was pleased and ordered the sages to perform the rites to Vishnu. Enraged, he kicked Vishnu on his chest and thus awakened, Vishnu started massaging Bhrigu's feet and served him with great hospitality. When Bhrigu arrived, he first saw Vishnu's feet and felt too humiliated. Vishnu was sleeping on Adishesha and Lakshmi was at his feet. Bhrigu cursed Shiva that he would be worshipped only in the formless Lingam. Shiva was busy in his Rudradhyanam with his consort, Parvati, at his feet. Brahma was busy with his four heads in chanting the Vedas, doing meditation, creating the world and spending his time with his consort, Saraswati. Bhrigu cursed Indra that he would only be referred to as an egoistic soul all over the universe. Indra did not acknowledge Bhrigu's presence but was busy in enjoying the dance of apsaras in heaven. To test the ideal God, Bhrigu did a test. The sages called upon Sage Bhrigu, one of the Saptarishis to suggest a solution. The sages and pontiffs for the Yagya were in a dilemma as to which God to dedicate the ritual to. Once, there was a ritual to be conducted. There is a great legend behind this incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Lord Venkateswara with consorts Bhudevi and Padmavati.Įvery year, lakhs of devotees donate a large amount of wealth at the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.
