What the Venkateswara Ashtothram is
The Venkateswara Ashtothram is a worship list of 108 names of Venkateswara of Tirumala, each set in the dative between Om and namah so that every name stands as a separate salutation. Other lists carry the same title; this one opens Sri Venkateshaya, Srinivasaya, Lakshmipataye, Anamayaya and ends on Jagadishvaraya, and its colophons assign it to the Brahmanda Purana. No author is named. The names fall into visible groups. Many are the familiar titles of Vishnu and Krishna, among them Keshava, Madhava, Gopala and Damodara. Names 39 and 50 to 53 count off what he carries: discus, mace, the Sharnga bow, the Nandaka sword and the conch. Names 42 to 49 are nearly all negatives in nir-, such as Nirvikalpa and Niranjana. Names 73 to 76 are built on jagat, the world. Set among these are names that belong to this hill alone, such as the hand at the hip (Name 56) and the boon to King Akasharaja (Name 61).
A Wedding Told Through the Names
No speaker or occasion is printed with this list, so its setting has to be read from the names themselves. It is the worship form of a verse stotram opening Sri Venkatesah Srinivaso Lakshmipatir Anamayah, whose closing line says that the hymn grants what is wished for to those who read or hear it with devotion. Several names point to the sacred history of the hill. Name 10 places him on Seshadri. Name 61 recalls Akasharaja, ruler of the Tondai country, who with Queen Dharani gave his daughter Padmavati in marriage to Srinivasa at Narayanapuram. Name 85 is understood as the Shravana star of the month of Kanya, the Purattasi Shravanam that Tirumala keeps as the day of his appearance. Names 90 to 93 run as a short sequence: a mind set on the hunt, a rider, a swordsman, one eager to gather wealth. According to the temple legend, Srinivasa was chasing a wild elephant when he came upon Padmavati in a royal garden, and the last of these names fits the wedding loan from Kubera that offerings at the hill are said to repay. One Sri Vaishnava commentary reads the sequence more inwardly, taking the hunt as the pursuit of suffering souls and the rider as Kalki.

Questions
Have your chart read before you decide
Chanting is yours to do, and free. But which deity your situation calls for — and whether a mantra alone is the right response — depends on your chart. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
