Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
86. ma: engai SvarUpanAsam; nama: engai SvarUpOjjeevanam.

Meaning:
Associating with ahankAram and mamakAram leads to destruction
of one's SvarUpam. Being without them leads to restoration of
SvarUpam.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
For the three virOdhis shown before, it is ahankAram (I) and
mamakAram (mine) that are the source. Therefore, the danger 
of their presence and the goodness that comes about with 
their removal are shown.

Within ma: both ahankAram and mamakAram are present. The 
pride about one's self is ahankAra and the pride that one 
has in their possessions is mamakAra. They both lead to the
destruction of one's SvarUpa. Not being attached to these
leads to the revival of the SvarUpa and therefore nama: is
equivalent to SvarUpa ujjIvana.
