Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Dear bhAgavatas,

adiyEn has come across this interpretation as 
well in the past - where the "shuklAmbaradharam 
..." is said to be dedicated to Ganesha. The 
reason given is that it ends as "vigna upa 
shAntaye" and Ganesha is also known as 
Vigneshvara (remover of obstacles). Here 
"vishNum" being in the subjective case allows 
for the attribution to any deity. But, unless
one worships Ganesha as the supreme deity, it
is difficult to see how the quality of all-
pervasiveness can be attributed to him.

Vishnu Sahasranamam does have the invocation to
Sri Vishvaksena - "yasyatvarida...", but this
is not included in many of the popular renditions 
(including the one by Smt MSS).

In any case, I am sure that this is not accepted 
by Srivaishnavas. To Srivaishnavas, it is Sriman 
Narayana that does all, including the removal of
obstacles.
