The saga of Lord Venkateshwara and his divine consort Padmavati is a tale woven with mystique and devotion. It all commenced with a group of sages led by Kasyapa, engrossed in a sacred ritual on the banks of the Ganges. Sage Narada's query about the purpose of the sacrifice left the sages in bewilderment. Seeking answers, they turned to Sage Bhrigu, who embarked on a quest to identify the most worthy deity.
Bhrigu's journey took him to Lord Brahma in Satyaloka, but Brahma was deeply immersed in devotion to Lord Narayana. Subsequently, Bhrigu visited Kailasa, the abode of Lord Shiva, but Shiva's attention was occupied by Parvati. Bhrigu's intrusion kindled Shiva's fury, leading to a confrontation.
In a Divine Test, disheartened by encounters with Brahma and Shiva, Bhrigu reached Vaikuntam, where Lord Vishnu reclined on Adisesha with Goddess Mahalakshmi at His feet. When Vishnu did not immediately acknowledge Bhrigu, the sage kicked the Lord on His chest. In response, Lord Vishnu, filled with compassion, apologized and alleviated Bhrigu's pain by pressing his feet. However, this act resulted in the loss of Bhrigu's eye and special powers. Convinced of Vishnu's supremacy, Bhrigu shared his findings with the other sages.
Mahalakshmi, angered by Vishnu's apology, left Vaikuntam and resided in Kolhapur. In her absence, Lord Vishnu, in the form of Venkateshwara, sought penance on Venkata Hill. Compassionate beings like Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, in the forms of a cow and calf, served Venkateshwara. Surya informed Mahalakshmi, who took the form of a cowherd to serve the king of the Chola country.
King Akasa Raja, ruling Thondamandalam, discovered a lotus cradling a female child during a ritual. He adopted the child, named her Padmavati, and raised her. Padmavati, formerly Vedavati, cursed Ravana in her previous life and sacrificed herself in fire. Lord Srinivasa (Venkateshwara) encountered Padmavati while hunting, and their love blossomed.
Vakuladevi, realizing Srinivasa's love, facilitated their union. Consulting with sage Brihaspati, Akasa Raja agreed to the marriage, and Kubera lent the necessary funds. The grand marriage took place in the presence of Devas, uniting Srinivasa and Padmavati, bestowing blessings on Akasa Raja
