Theerthams

Sanaka and some other Yogis made ‘paapanaasana’ theertham and the wood nearby their abode. The Seven rishis built hermitages for themselves north east to it on the banks of Phalguni theertham. Lakshmi devi, pleased with Arundhati’s penance incarnated on the banks of this theertham and bestowed boons on Arundhati devi. She blessed the theertham with the name of Phalguni theertham on her request.

Mother Lakshmi stays with those who bathe in these holy waters on the full moon day with the star or asterism phalguni in the month of phaalgunam and blesses them with fulfillment of all their desires. Some gods sat in a conclave and decided to stay there forever as Lord Venkateswara had made it his abode.

North of Paapanaasanam at about four miles, there is Sanakas Anandana Theertham which washes off sins.

On the twelfth day of the light half of the month of maargaseersha, at sunrise, having bathed in Swaamipushkarini, if one bathes in Sanakasanandana Theertham on the following day and chants Venkateswara’s eight-lettered mantram, and practices yoga, the result desired would be immediate.

On the north-western side of Srinivasa's temple, in the hill cave, deva theertham is situated. Either on a Thursday with the asterism pushyami or on a Monday with the asterism Shraavana, or at the auspicious time of the seventeenth of astrological yogas called vyatipaatam,

The sins committed knowingly or unknowingly will all be washed off by bathing in this holy waters, piety increases, longevity is attained, and progeny will prosper.

Heaven, after death, will be attained. Those who feed the poor on this day shall obtain the piety of life-long charity of food.
