(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” .

(Lord Kiratha (hunter) Sastha is the son born   Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi when they  took the form of hunters to  give Pasupathasthra   to  Arjuna.
