In its original Sanskrit
This is the Venkatesha Stotram in its original Sanskrit, praising Venkateswara, the Lord of the seven hills, drawn from the Brahmanda Purana, from the greatness of the Venkata mountain told by Brahma to Narada. For centuries the verses have been chanted on Saturdays, the Lord's own day, through Dhanurmasam, and at the great Brahmotsavam, at Tirumala where he stands and in homes and Balaji temples across the world. Devotees turn to them for refuge, for protection, and for the clearing of debts and worries. The tradition holds that Srinivasa keeps whoever calls on him with love. Read here in Devanagari, the script carries the sounds as they have always been chanted.
