Sri Venkatesa
Stotram
By
Saint Narayana Theertha
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Saint Narayana Theertha , was born in Guntur
district of Andhra Pradesh in the year 1650. He was a great scholar in Sanskrit and a very great musicologist. He migrated to Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu and took
Sanyasa there.His most famous work is
the Sanskrit opera called “Sri
Krishna Leela Tarangini(The wave of the
plays of Lord Krishna) ”. There is a story
of what lead him to compose this great work .One day when he was in the banks of Cauvery he was attacked by a
great stomah pain, and he pray Lord Venkatesa
to help him go back to
Thirupathi. Then he heard a divine voice directing him to follow a boar(Varaha)
.That boar lead him to a village called Bhpathipuram. (Later it was named as Varahur-city of Varaha) ) .
The villagers already knew that he was coming and with their help he
built a temple of Lord Lakshmi Narayana and also Lord Venkateswara there in the banks
of Kudamurutti (Name of Cauvery) river
there and there he composed “Krishna leela
Tarangini”. This stotra possibly could be addressed to that
Venkateswara of that city of Varaha .
It is also
interesting to note that The present
day Venkateswara temple of
Thirupathi is located in a place where there
was already a Varaha temple (Called as Adhi Varaha Murthy) .There for it
is quite possible that Narayana
Thirtha was writing about Lord
Venkatesa of Thirumalai, which was
earlier a Varaha pura.)
