Dear SrI VenkatEsa
BhakthAs:
Recently , there was a question about
the identity of the PirAtti on Lord
SrinivAsA's
right VakshasTalam , who recieves
VakshasTala
Lakshmi AarAdhanam with 16 of
Her
names in the Mornings at Thirumala
.
The other question was : Who is the other
Lady on the left side of the Lord' s chest
?
As background , There are three Laksmis
( SrI Devi , BhOga Lakshmi
and Veera Lakshmi)
in the VaikhAnasa
Aagamam.
All
these three are said to originate from
SrIvatsam on the Lord's chest
.
The PramANam is :
SrIvatsAtEva
sakalAn-jagiyrE dhivya lAnchanam
-- Passage From Sri
VaikAnasa ArchanA
navaneetham 5.28 &
29
According to another PramANam , all the
three
have their own
sTAnams :
Srivatsam
yOgalakshmeessyAth
bhOga-Lakshmeeccha
parSvayO: VeeralaksmIr viSEshaNa
PruTak bhavanam

Yoga Lakshmi always resides
in His chest
( ahalakillEn) .She is worshipped with 4 names:
SrI , Dhruthi , PavithrI , PramOdhAyini
in VaikhAnasam ( VikhAnasa SrI Kalpam).
BhOga Lakshmi is on both sides
of
the Lord as Ubhaya
NaacchimAr.
All the three ( Lord and His
Ubhaya
NaacchimArs are worshipped together
with their own Sookthis
:

Veera Lakshmi is in Her separate temple
and She is worshipped First in our
sampradhAyam.
SrI PadmAvathi ThAyAr in TirucchAnUr is
the Veeralakshmi for Lord VenkatEsa .
Sri Padmavathi is the other Lakshmi
on the left side of the chest of SrI
VenkatEsar Moolavar .
On His head , the Lord of
Thirumala
adorns the tall
Kireetam presented by
AakAsa Raajan
( His Father in Law ) in His Moola BhEram form
and cherishes his daughter ( MahA Lakshmi
avathAram) on His left Chest . On His right hand
side of the chest is MahA Lakshmi ( Yoga
Lakshmi)
as Bhimbha-Prathibimbham . In both forms
,
they are His Iswaryam and His Sankalpa
SahakAris
.
