Venkatesa Ashtothara (Sanatkurananthargatha)

Venkatesa  Ashtothara  (Sanatkurananthargatha)

Translated by 
P.R.Ramachander

(Lord Venkatesa meaning the supreme one   who  destroys sin  is one of the very popular Gods in Hinduism and specially in Vaishnavism. His great temple is situated  on the top of seven hills  near Thirupathi(holy city) .Here is a rare  ashtotharam of that God. My spurce only says that  it is “Sanathkumaranthargatha” . I do not know   whether it was composed by sage Sanathkumara , who was the son of Lord Brahma.  This saint has been mentioned as one of the saints  waiting to get a Darshan of the Lord in the famous Venkatesa Suprabatham.Though I searched for this ashtothara on line I could not get it.)
