Dear and respected Devotees.  Please accept our humble pranam: 

Sri piLLai lOkAchAryA's yaadruchchika-p-padi
====================================================================================
 
lOkAcArya gurave krishna pAdasya sUnavE |
samsAra bhOgi sandaShta jeeva jeevAtavE nama: ||

Dwaya prakaraNam:
srIman nArAyaNa charaNau charaNau prapadyE   |
srImathE nArAyaNAya nama:    ||

The dwayam illustrates the adoption of the means, and the prayer for the goal. 
Since this illustrates the two meanings, it consists of two lines. Since it has 
two lines, it is called Dwayam. The first line has three words, and the second 
line has three words ? thus a total of six words.
 
The first word (srIman nArAyaNa charaNau) illustrates the quality of periya 
pirAtti (Lakshmi) of being a mediator, the four key qualities of the Lord and 
the quality of the Lord and Laksmi being in union.
 
The sub-word Sri, by two of the possible etymologies ? srIyathE and srayathE ? 
illustrates (i) the quality of Lakshmi not seeing the soul's faults and being 
the refuge for *everyone* due to the relationship of Her being the mother of 
all souls, and (ii) the quality of Lakshmi always taking refuge with the Lord 
as a result of Her relationship of being the consort of the Lord and to save 
all the souls.  The conjunction math illustrates the eternal relationship 
between the Lord and Lakshmi. nArAyaNa illustrates the four qualities of the 
Lord ? vAtsalyam, svAmithvam, sowseelyam and soulabhyam; these guNAs are such 
that even in the hypothetical case where pirAtti tries to reject the souls from 
attaining Them by seeing the souls' sins, the Lord discards that rejection and 
saves the souls by saying "My devotees will NOT do wrong things; even if they 
did wrong things, they did it for the right reason" {other beautiful 
experiences exist for this statement from thiruvAimozhi ? one is that the Lord 
becomes miffed due to pirAtti saying that the Lord's devotees did something 
wrong and questions Her ? "hey! who has not done these wrong things? My 
devotees did these wrong things very well", and proceeds to save the souls: ) }
 
charaNau  denotes the specialness of the physical form of the Lord, which is 
even more efficient at doing the function (of saving the souls) even more than 
the nature and the auspicious qualities of the Lord. saraNam ? as the means; 
the means to a goal is one that removes the unwanted things and helps attain 
the desired things. prapadyE ? I take; taking here means a complete mental 
affirmation.
 
srImathE  - to the One who is in union with pirAtti ? by this, it is said that 
the receiver of all the services that the soul performs is the Lord and pirAtti 
together (mithunam). nArAyaNAya ? to the One who is the master of everyone ? 
since He is the master of everyone, this denotes the appropriateness of Him 
being the recipient of all services. The fourth case ending "Aya" illustrates 
the prayer to perform service without being affected by the constraints of 
place, time and form. nama: - this word denotes the removal of the obstacle to 
performing the services; the obstacles to performing service are thinking that 
the soul is the enjoyer, and thinking that the soul is the owner and belongs to 
itself.
 
Thus, dwayam illustrates the soul's adopting the appropriate means and after 
the adoption, its prayer for performing eternal service ? "I take the feet of 
srIman nArAyaNa, who is the consort of Sri and is easy for everyone to attain, 
as the means to the attainment of the desired thing and for removing the 
obstacles to that attainment; I wish to have the fortune of performing eternal 
service to Lord srIman nArAyaNa, the master of everyone; may ahamkaara and 
mamakaara, the obstacles to attaining the goal be removed"
