They both fell in love and decided to get married as per the boon of Vishnu to Chola king in the previous birth.For the marriage expenses, Srinivasa borrowed riches from Kubera and promised to repay the loan with interest till the end of Kali Yuga. One day, Lord Srinivasa met a beautiful girl named Padmavati. Meanwhile, Goddess Lakshmi took birth at the palace of Aakasha Raja, the next birth of The Chola king. Vakula Devi was the reincarnation of Yashoda.
It is said that in Dvapara Yuga, Krishna presented Yashoda a boon that Krishna will be born to Yashoda in Kali Yuga. In his next birth, Vishnu incarnated as Srinivasa to a woman named Vakula Devi. Vishnu was pleased and presented him a boon over the curse that he would marry his daughter in his next birth. Unlike shepherd, the king realised his mistake. The chola king was sorry for his mistake and surrendered at the Lord's feet. Vishnu again emerged and grew enormous, stopped the arrows from travelling further and he cursed the king, that he will be born as a demon in next birth, because to not keep his subjects in a dharmic way is a sin to king also more than the sin of the king alone. Hence the king loaded his bows and arrows and tried to kill the cow and the calf, stating that it's not serving the kingdom instead it's giving milk to the young boy. He went near to the grazing field and was surprised to see the dead body of the shepherd and he went to the original grazing field, where the cows were giving milk to Vishnu. The chola king suspected the absence of the shepherd. An enraged Vishnu cursed the shepherd that he will die immediately and the shepherd died with the same axe with which he tried to kill the innocent cow and calf which relieved him from thirst. Vishnu noticed, and in order to protect them, Vishnu arose from the anthill and the arrow hit Vishnu's forehead (the blood poured as namam on Vishnu's head).
The shepherd saw this act, he threw an axe (Parasu) on the cow and calf. The next day the shepherd took the animals for grazing and like everyday, the cow poured milk into the anthill. The shepherd noticed this and felt something suspicious. Due to this, the cow and calf became pale and unhealthy. The cow, everyday used to pour her milk into the anthill to lessen the thirst of Vishnu. 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.
