adiyEn begs to differ. SriSailESa dayA pAtram... is the
thaniyan for Sri MaNavALa mAmunigaL, not Bhagavat Ramanujar.
Therefore it should be referred to as Sri maNavALa mAmunigaL
sampradAyam, NOT Sri Ramanuja Sampradayam as above. This is
not to suggest that Sri MamunigaL's thaniyan is not part of
Sri Ramanuja sampradAyam, but since Swami Desikan's thaniyan
has been annotated as "Desika SampradAya", adiyEn just wishes
to set the record straight.

Further, Swami Desikan PRECEDES Sri mAmunigaL in the order
of appearance in bhUlOkam, and SrI MAmunigaL while commenting
upon SrI PiLLai lOkAchArya's works, respectfully cited SwAmi
DESikan's SrI-SUktIs more than 30 times. Also in the UpadEsa
RatNa-mAlai, SrI MAmunigaL has payed his reverential tributes
to SwAmi DESikan {in one pAsuram} as one of the pUrvAchAryas.
While Sri mAmunigaL is regarded as the avathAram of AdiSEsha,
Swami Desikan is regarded as the avathAram of the "maNi" of
thiruvEnkatam udayAn or even thiruvEnkatam udayAn himself,
as some believe.

So WHAT then, is the thaniyan of Sri Ramanuja SampradAyam?
They are the following (composed by Srivatsa chinha miSrar,
or Swami kooraththAlvan - the GREATEST kainkaryapArar to
bhagavat Ramanujar):

"I surrender to that divine Sri Ramanuja, our guru, an ocean
of mercy, who in his intense attachment to the two feet of
Lord Achyuta considered all else as worthless as grass"
