Using ancient scriptures as evidence, Bhagavad Ramanuja presented a clear and lucid set of points of how the Supreme Being Himself had taken this unique form as a temple image, for the purpose of  redeeming us from our sorrows by reassuring us of His presence. All these points were put together in a work called Sri Venkateswara Ithihasa Mala, a Garland of Verses about Lord Sri Venkateswara’s History.
