Dear Sri Mohan,

A work called Sri Venkateswara itihAsa mAla provides great detail into the
arguments that Bhagavad Sri Ramanuja presented in order to prove, without a
doubt, that Srinivasa at Thirumalai is the archAvathAra of Sriman Narayana,
and that His thirumEni is in accordance with Agama sAstra. As I have not
studied the work under an AchArya, I would be reluctant to quote from the
English synopsis that I have.

But, one thing that I can share is that this historic record makes it clear
that the Lord's Sankha and Chakra had been removed for specific reasons, and
that these had been replaced by Sri Ramanuja at the time when this great
debate had been resolved. It is interesting to note that since he reminded
the Lord Whom He Really Is, and also "emblazened" Him with the Sankha and
Chakra, Sri Ramanuja is regarded to be the Acharya to Srinivasa, just as
Manavalamamunigal is the AchArya to Ranganatha. It is to recognize
Srinivasa's role as his sishya that Sri Ramanuja's Sannidhi is situated a
few feet higher than the garbha griham.

I hope this helps.
