Renew Subscription. The sage, impressed by Vishnu's act, declared Vishnu to be the deity worthy of the dedication of the yajna. Lakshmi was outraged by the sage's misdemeanour and Vishnu's silence at the act, since she was spiritually associated with the chest of her consort. The goddess departed from Vaikunthaarriving on earth. According to tradition, she arrived at the region of Varaha Kshetra and performed an intense penance ramana deekshitulu wikipedia twelve years.

The gods, terrified by her penance, mollified her into returning to Vaikuntha with the promise that she would be incarnated on the site of her penance as Padmavathiher father being a king named Akasha Raja, while she also incarnated as Bhargavi to Bhrigu. After the departure of the goddess Lakshmi, Vishnu left Vaikuntha and took his abode in an ant-hill on the Venkata Hill, under a tamarind tree and beside a pushkarini lake.

Brahma and Shivataking pity on the condition of Vishnu, assumed the forms of a cow and a calf to serve him. Suryathe sun god, informed Lakshmi of these events and requested her to sell the cow and calf to the king of the Chola country, assuming the form of a cowherdess. The king of the Chola dynasty sent the cow and its calf to graze on the Venkatadri Hill along with his herd of cattle.

Discovering Vishnu in the ant-hill, the cow every day emptied her udder over the ant-hill and thus fed the deity with pure milk. Over a period of time, the queen noticed that the cow did not yield any milk and chastised the cowherd severely. The cowherd, seeking to investigate the cause, followed the cow and discovered the animal emptying her udder over the ant-hill.

In his anger, the cowherd aimed a blow with his axe on the head of the cow. Instead, he struck Vishnu, who rose from the ant-hill to receive the blow and save the cow. On seeing Vishnu bleeding, the cowherd fell down and died. On the death of the cowherd, the cow returned to the king with blood stains on her body, bellowing in the presence of the king.

An anxious king followed the cow to the scene of the incident. Near an ant-hill, the king found the cowherd lying dead on the ground. He observed that the cows were offering their milk to Vishnu. However, Vishnu was in disguise, and so the king could not identify him. The king strung his arrow, believing that the milk should serve the kingdom rather than the boy he saw.

Vishnu, once again, emerged, and grew enormous, stopped the arrows from passing further and he cursed the king for not maintaining the dharma of his kingdom. The king repented and surrendered at the deity's feet. Unlike the shepherd, the king had realised his mistake, which pleased Vishnu, and hence presented him with the boon that he would marry the king's daughter in his next birth.

In due time, the Chola king was reborn as Akasha Raja and though he ruled well, he had no children born to him. When he conducted yajna and was tilling the ground, he found a baby in a lotus flower and named her Padmavati and adopted her as his daughter. Vishnu reincarnated as Srinivasa or presented himself after penance in the ant-hill as the son of the elderly woman Vakula Deviwho was the rebirth of Yashoda the deity Krishna 's foster-mother.

Unhappy that she had been unable to attend Krishna's wedding ramana deekshitulu wikipedia Rukminithe deity promised that he would be reborn to her as a son, as Srinivasa. In course of time Princess Padmavati grew up into a beautiful maiden and was visited by the sage Narada. On reading her palm, he foretold that she was destined to be the spouse of Vishnu himself.

In due time, Srinivasa, on a hunting trip, was chasing a wild elephant in the forest. The elephant led him into a garden where Princess Padmavati and her maids were present. The sight of the elephant frightened them and their princess. When Srinivasa appeared in front of the elephant, it immediately turned round, saluted the deity, and disappeared into the forest.

Srinivasa noticed the princess and enquired about her from her maids. Enthralled by her, Srinivasa lost interest in other activities and confided in Vakula Devi on his love for Padmavati. He also revealed his identity as Vishnu as well as told her about her past life as his foster-mother Yasodha. Vakula Devi travelled from her hermitage to approach Akasha Raja with her proposal of marriage between Srinivasa and Padmavati.

In the meantime, the restless deity came to the city in the disguise of a fortune-teller. Princess Padmavati also fell in love with Srinivasa and fell ill after returning to the palace. Unable to diagnose the cause of her sickness, the maids invited the fortune-teller into the palace to foretell the future of the princess. When the fortune-teller revealed that Padmavati was born to marry Vishnu in his current avatar as Srinivasa, she recovered.

As the king heard of this news, Vakula announced herself to the king and asked for his daughter's hand in marriage to her son, Srinivasa. The overjoyed king agreed and his advisor Brihaspati wrote the invitation for the wedding between the two deities. Srinivasa called for a conference of the gods to gain their consent for his marriage with Princess Padmavati.

The deity also obtained a large loan from Kuberathe god of wealth, towards the expenses for the wedding as well as provide proof of his wealth.
