Sages did penance for him only. He is the origin. Lotus-eyed Sri Venkatesa is our ultimate refuge.

If you keep Narahari's name on your tongue, where is the need to seek emancipation from other Gods? His name is pious. It is savior of life.It will comfort you when you are exausted.

If Madhava is in your mind where else you search for him. He is the destination. That is what you wish. He will protect you if you keep him in your mind.

If you are near Venkatesa, why are you deluded with worldly rituals. He is God and he is our prop. If you sincerely pray you'll not be disappointed.
