87) Neela dhenu payo dhaaraa seka
dehotbhavaaya nama:
Salutations to Srinivasa, who
manifested due to immersion in the milk of black cows
A group of cowherds came to
Emperor Tondaman, within whose kingdom Tirumala hills lay, with a rather
strange and incredible story.According to them, their cows were playing truant
and emptying their udders in an anthill, on their way home from grazing.
However vigilant they were, the cows evaded their masters and showered their
bounty on the anthill dutifully, every day. Unable to put up with such
insubordination from their charges, the cowherds represented to the Emperor
for some remedial action.
The curious Emperor accompanied
the cowherds to the anthill and, prompted by a dream he had the previous night
which coincided with the account of the cowherds, dissolved the anthill with
pot after pot of milk from the Neela dhEnus( KaarAm pasu) . Lo and
behold, what emerged was a magnificent vimaanam and resplendant in the same
was the glorious form of Sri Venkateswara, holding the Sudarsana Chakra,
Paanchajanya etc. The Chakravartthi built a beautiful temple for the Lord,
where He resides till date.
