The legend has that Sage Brighu visited
Sathya Loka, Mount Kailash and Sri Vaikundham respectively to locate the
Trinities who deserve to accept the initial part of havirbhaga of fire
sacrifices. Finally, he arrived at Sri Vaikundham and found Lord
Vishnu was immersed in Yoganidra and as usual Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi at her
service to Lord. Sage Brighu was irritatingly kicked the chest
of Lord Vishnu and it caused a sudden tremor to Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi who
resides in the chest of Lord Vishnu.
Lord Vishnu woke up from Yoganidra and worriedly approached Sage Brighu
to find whether the kick has caused any pain to him. Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi was frustratingly
left Sri Vaikundham seeing the compassion of Lord towards Sage Brighu. Sri Mahalakshmi came down to Earth and
underwent severe penance worshipping Lord Vishnu. Ultimately she took birth on a lotus flower
in the pond situated here and eventually married to Lord Venkateswara.
