Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
122. ithil muRkURRAl periyapirAttiyArai munnittu Isvaran
thiruvadigaLai upAyamAgap paRRukiRathu; piRkURRAl 
assErththiyil adimai irakkiRathu.

Meaning:
The first part of this Dvaya mantra speaks of the matter
of taking refuge at His divine feet through the mediation
of Sri Mahalakshmi. The second part of the mantra speaks 
of the service to the Divine Couple that is prayed for.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
The meanings of the Dvaya mantra are now beginning to be
explained.

The Dvaya mantra is made of two parts (khanda). In the 
first part, refuge is taken at His divine feet through 
the mediation of Periya Piratti (Mahalakshmi). Through 
"srimad", Mahalakshmi is approached first. Through 
"nArAyaNa caraNau sharaNam prapadye", His divine feet 
are seeked as the means.

In the second part, the prayer is made that service be
performed to the Divine Couple. "srimathe" shows the 
Divine Couple. The fourth case on the "nArAyaNa" ("Aya")
shows the prayer to perform service. The "nama:" shows 
the removal of the obstacles to the service.
