Kulasekhara Alwar, a king who longed to be a servant, sings of his love for Srirangam and his wish to be anything at all at Tirumala, even a step on the path to the sanctum (Perumal Tirumozhi, decad 4). He sings as Devaki, who missed Krishna's childhood, as Kausalya lulling Rama to sleep, and as Dasaratha grieving when Rama left for the forest. After his wish, the step before the sanctum in temples is called Kulasekharan padi.
