Lord SrInivAsan is the object of worship of Brahma , 
Rudra, other DevAs and celebrated Sages as visualized by 
the 5th and 6th slOkams of SrI VenkatEsa SuprabhAtham :

athryAdhi saptha rushaya: samupAsya sandhyAm
aakAsa sindhu kamalAni manOharANi 
aadhAya paadhayugam archayithum prapannA:
SeshAdhri Sekhara VibhO ! Tava SuprabhAtham 

(Having completed the prAtha: sandhya-vandhanam ,
the Seven sages like Atri bring beautiful lotuses
from the divine Ganges to perform worship at Thy
sacred feet. Oh Lord of SeshAlacham ! May this be an 
auspicious day for You !

PanchAnAbhjabhava ShaNmukha VaasavAdhyA:
TraivikramAdhi charitham vibhudhA: sthuvanthi
BhAshApathi: paDathi vAsarasuddhim ArAth
SeshAdri-sEkhara vibhO ! Tava SuprabhAtham

( The Five-faced Isvaran , the Lotus-born
BrahmA , the six-faced SubramaNya , Indra 
are recalling with reverence Your wonderous deeds 
during the avathArams like Thrivikramaavatharam.
Nearby , Brahaspathi , the Deva Guru is reading out 
the PanchAngam (the planetary positions for the day).
Oh Master of SeshAchalam! May it be an auspicious 
dawn to Thee!).

The sage Narada with his celestial VeeNA is singing
Your praise. Agni, Yama , Nairuti , VaruNA , Vaayu 
and KubEra , the dhig-paalakAs are standing before You
with folded hands and are eager to offer their service
to You.The Lord of Birds (GarudA ), The Lord of Serpents
(Adhi Sesha ) , Lord of Elephants ( AirAvatha) and 
the King of horses ( Ucchaissravas) are paying their 
respects to You . The Nava grahams are prostrating before You.
Your devotees are reciting Your dhivya nAmAs 
and seek Your blessings:

SrI PadhmanAbha ! PurushOtthama! VaasudEva!
Vaikunta! Maadhava! JanArdhana! ChakrapANE!
Srivathsachinha! SaraNAgatha PaarijAtha!
SrI VenkatAchalapathE! Tava SuprabhAtham.

Thirumalai Nambi, Sri AnanthANpillai, AchArya
RaamAnujA are performing their Kaimkaryams to You.
Swamy Desikan is placing at your feet the centum
of DayA sathakam in celebration of Your DayA 
GuNam . SrI MaNavALa Maamuni is seen prostrating
before You. His key disciple , PrathivAdhi
Bhayankaram AnnA composes four SrI Sookthis
( Your SuprabhAtham , SthOthram, Prapatthi 
and Mangalam ) and places them at Your holy feet. 

Saint AnnamayyA , Purandara Dasa and other
sacred bards perform Naama KusumAnjali.

It is getting to be noon time. The divine bard and 
your dear Bhakthan, ThyagarAja SwamigaL arrives 
in front of You and and begs for the removal of 
the curtain of anger, arrogance and jealousy standing 
in front of him and keeping him outside the Dharma and 
Moksha PurushArthams :

" Tera theeyaga raadhA ? lOni Thiruppathi VenkataramaNa!
Mathsaramunu , Parama Purusha ! dharmAdhi Mokshamula
paara dhOlu chunnadhi , naalOnoi "). The curtain standing 
between ThyagarAja and Lord SrinivAsa falls down and
the Lord blesses His dear Bhakthan with His darsanam.
The ecstatic ThyagarAjA sings in MadhyamAvathi Raagam
and thanks the Lord in gratefulness:

"VenkatEsa Ninnu sEvimpanu padhivEla 
kanulu gAvalEnayyA 

PankajAksha ParipAlitha Munijana 
BhAvakamagu dhivya-roopamanugOnna

yEkkuuva neevani dhikkulu BhOgaDa
akkaragOni madhisOkkika kanugOna
nikkamu neevE grakkuna BhROvuthaLukkani 
mErasE chakka tanamugala

YEnOmu PhalamO nee naamAmrutha-paanamu
yanu sOpAnamu dhOrikEnu SrInaayaka !
ParamAnandha nee sari gAnamu sObhAyamAnAmgrulu gala

yOgihrudhaya neevEgathiyanu jana- 
bhAgadhEya! VarabhOgIsasayana!
BhAgavatha Priya ThyagarAjanutha
naagAchalamupai BhAguga nelakOnna (VenkatEsa )"

Oh Vekkatesa standing on top of SeshAchalam
and in the heart lotuses of Yogis! One should have 
thousands of eyes to see Your glorious and beautiful
roopam. You are recognized by all as the Supreme among
all Gods and You are JAGATH VANDHYAN. Your mere darsanam
will assure Moksham for those with pious devotion to You.
As a result of Poorva Janma sukrutham ( PuNyam acquired
from previous janmAs) , I am standing before You and 
tasting the amrutham of Thy sweet naamAs and thus have
assured myself of a stepping stone to come close to You,
whose holy feet shines with matchless, radiant lustre.

Worshipped by all of His BhakthAs , Lord VenkatEsan 
becomes the Bhuvana-Vandhyan (Jagadh-Vandhyan) and 
responds to our prayer for protection:

SrIman! KrupAjalanidhE! KruthasarvalOkE!
Sarvaj~na ! Saktha! Nathavathsala! Sarva-sEshin!
Swamin! Suseela-sulabhAsritha-PaarijAtha!
SrI VenkatEsa Charanou SaraNam PrapadhyE

This is the essence of the Sixth Naamam of 
the SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam . 

(PraNavam ) NamO VenkatEsAya ,
(PraNavam) Jagadh-VnadhyAya nama:

SrImath Azhagiya Singar ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,
