the Lord. Lord Srinivasa doing who was pleased with his austerity appeared before him, and
asked him what he wanted. Thereupon Vrishabhasura, who was a great Bhakta, wanted Yuddha
Bhiksha, or an opportunity to fight with the Lord, so that he might attain salvation at
the hands of the Lord. His request was granted and so the Lord was known as
Vrishabhasurahari.
