Respected Bhagavathas, Dasoham!! Sometime back in a discussion thread relating to "Sandhya and Gayatri", a Bhagavatha posted a query intending to know the source of "Dhyeyassada Savitru mandala madhyavarthi..." shlokam. This shlokam is from "Brihath Parasara Smrithi". This is quoted by Sri Bhashyakara in his "Vedartha Sangraha" in the context of establishing the "Divya mangala vigraham" of Srimannarayana along with may other quotes from Shruthi, Smrithi and Ithihasas. I came across this information while going through English Translation of "Vedartha Sangraha" by Sri S. S. Raghavachar, published by Ramakrishna mutt. Incidentally, this translation is wonderful. I request all bhagavathas to procure a copy of this. Actually, the structure and style of this work of Sri Ramanuja itself comes across something refreshingly different from other literary works of Vedantha. The whole work presents itself in a flow, more like a presentation of modern orator. The traditional account that this work was composed as a lecture in front of Thiruvengadamudaiyan by Sri Ramanuja sound fairly credible.
