Here is the story of Lord Venkateshwara's marriage with Padmavathi Devi. I have omitted the side stories. I have just included the main stories here.
The Tirumala Hills are a range of 7 Hills. Lord Varaha along with his consort Bhuma Devi stayed on the Venkatadhri Hills after rescuing the Earth from the demon Hiranyakashipu.
The sages went to Rishi Brighu to ask who among the Gods is to be worshipped first in all the ceremonies and prayers. Sage Brighu who had an eye at the sole of his foot (which gave him immense power by which he can even defeat the Gods, the Trinity included) as a result of his penances and merits went to the three gods one after the other. First to Brahma Lok - Lord Brahma sat in worshiping Lord Vishnu. (In some stories, it is said that Vishnu Lord Brahma was reciting the vedas and looking at Devi Saraswati.) Sage Brighu decided that he was not worthy of worship and left the place after cursing Lord Brahma. In the Kailash Mountains, Lord Shiva sat in the groves with Devi Parvati and did not notice the sage coming there. When Devi Parvati brought to Lord Shiva's notice about the Sage's arrival, Lord Shiva took up his Trishul to kill him for intervening in their privacy. Sage Brighu cursed Lord Shiva too and left the place and reached Vaikundha. (Some stories say that Lord Shiva did not notice Sage Brighu at all and the sage cursed Lord Shiva and left the place.) In Vaikundha, Lord Vishnu was resting on Adhisesha and Devi Lakshmi was pressing his feet. Sage Brighu, fiercely angry that he was not noticed here too, kicked Lord Vishnu on his chest. Lord Vishnu, who noticed the sage only then, fell at his feet saying that "I hope you were not hurt by kicking me," and pressed the sage's feet. He also plucked out the eye on the sage's feet. Maharishi Brighu was pleased with Lord Vishnu and blessed him that he was the most worthy of worship. (Some legends say that after leaving Vaikundha, he realised what he had done since now the power that blinded him - the eye - had gone. He repented for it by doing austerities and penances with a vow that if forgiven Devi Lakshmi must come to him as his daughter and kick his chest as his daughter would. So, Devi Lakshmi, when she forgave him, appeared as a baby girl whom he raised as his own daughter. She was known as Bhargavi.)
After the sage left, Devi Lakshmi, angry that her own husband fell at the feet of the person who dared to kick her (residence), left Vaikundha. Lord Vishnu pleaded with her not to go but she did not heed it.
To be continued . . .
