Meaning:
The feet of VenkaTEshwara are so sacred that they are adorable even to Brahma and that the very feet (paadam) themselves are Brahma. The Lord's feet have saved the earth from the powerful enemy "Baali" Cakravarthi when the Lord in the form of Vaamana asked him to fulfill his wish. The adorable feet of the Lord, which brought down the pride of the poisonous snake Kaalinga (by KaaLiyanandana) were pressed so dearly by the goddess of wealth Lakshmi, the Lord's wife. These are the feet that have given many boons to rishis and have made TiruvenkaTagiri in Tirupati the last destination to attain salvation.
