Dear Devotees,
 
I have a small query. The 'Ananda Nilayam' of Lord Srinivasa of Tirumala has 4 lions surrounded on the top (4 corners). Our Sri Vaishnava temples generally have 'Periya Thiruvadi - Garudazhwar' on the four sides of the Sanctum Sanctorium. I wish to know why lions are placed at Tirumala.
 
I understood that the followers of other schools tried to degrade the scancity of our Thirumala and all their evil efforts were vanquished by Sri Bhashyakarar.
 
Do the lions represent the commotion at that period? I am asking this question out of ignorance. Learned members, please clarify.
 
Best Regards,
Jayakrishna DaAsan.
