Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
75. inimEl praNavaththai vivarikkiRathu.

Meaning:
The parts other than the praNavam in the Thirumanthram explain 
the praNavam.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai: 
>From here on, the nama: part of Thirumathram which is known as
mantra sEsham and the nArAyanAya part have to be explained.

First it is said that the mantra sEsham is an explanation for
the praNavam. Breaking a word or phrase into multiple parts 
and showing the meanings of each part is the usual method of
explaining something. So, why would it be said that the mantra
sEsham explains praNavam, when it does not break the praNavam
part by part and show their meanings?

Even if it does not take the parts of the source and explain
them, as it speaks the essential meanings of the source and 
expands on it, the mantra sEsham can be said to explain the 
praNavam. That is, the collected meanings of the praNavam
that were shown before are explained in great detail by the
remaining two parts of the Thirumanthram.
