प्रायॊsन्यत्र गतां श्रियं निजवशां कर्तुं मुहुः कान्क्षितं

भक्तानां प्रदिशन् धनं प्रतिदिनं सम्साध्य साध्यप्रियः।

तत्तत्रैव पुनः सहस्रगुणितं पश्यन् घनश्यामलः

तॆषां वॆश्मसु विस्मितॊ निवसति श्रीवॆन्कटॆशॊsनिशम्॥२२॥ 

SUMMARY: Perhaps with an intent to make Goddess Lakshmi, who is mostly residing elsewhere in the houses of devotees, his own, Lord Venkatesha, who has dark complexion that is reminiscent of dark clouds, is fulfilling the desires of his devotees again and again, each day, and is getting astonished by seeing the wealth of his devotees getting multiplied thousand folds and is residing eternally in the houses of those devotees.

Sri Vadirajaru appears to be wondering at the continuous enhancement of wealth in the houses of the devotees of Lord Venkatesha. His consort Goddess Lakshmi is in-charge of wealth. Lord Venkatesha continuously fulfills the desires of his devotees so that they may not care for the wealth in their houses. By adopting this method, Lord Venkatesha, Sri Vadirajaru says in this stanza, expects Goddess Lakshmi would come to him as she might not like being ignored by the devotees. However, Lord Venkatesha is surprised to notice that the wealth of his devotees, due to his grace and blessings, keeps increasing manifolds. Convinced that Goddess Lakshmi may not rejoin him, Lord Venkatesha shifts himself to the residences of his devotees. This is symbolically testified by the fact that the devotees always worship Lord Venkaesha along with Goddess Lakshmi in their houses, say Sri Vadirajaru.

कशिपीकृत्य यं शॆतॆ गिरीकृत्याधिष्ठति।

अवतीर्णॊsनुजीकृत्य स तद्भक्ताग्रणी फणी॥२४॥   

SUMMARY: Lord Srinivasa rests on the mattress-like Aadi Shesha, the divine serpent; Lord Srinivasa makes the same Aadi Shesha into a hill and stands on it; Lord Srinivasa has made Aadi Shesha as his brother named Lakshmana during his incarnation as Rama and thus Aadi Shesha is the most ardent devotee of Sri Venkatesha.

The hill on which Lord Venkatesha is present is known as Venkatachala as well as Sheshachala. Sri Vadirajaru is explaining the reason for the hill being called as Sheshachala. Sri Adishesha, on whom Lord Narayana rests in the cosmic ocean of milk, is existing in the form of a hill on which Lord Venkatesha is now residing.
