srImathE rAmAnujAya namah.

The authorship for the first two lines of sARRumarai,
"sarvadEsa dasA kAlEshu.." is usually attributed
to periya jIyar. The name "periya jIyar" is 
sometimes attributed to svAmi nanjIyar, who
succeeded svAmi parAsara bhattar as the leader of
rAmAnuja sampradAya followers. Given that svAmi
nanjIyar is only one generation removed from
svAmi rAmAnuja, it is entirely plausible that he
did write the "sarvadEsa dasA kAlEshu" slOkam.

On the other hand, one can also make the case
that the entire sARRumurai kramam was brought into
vogue by svAmi maNAvALa mAmunigaL. {The slOka
starting with "sriman srIranga sriyam anubhadravAm.. "
is attributed to svAmi rAmAnuja himself. Also, the
verse "rAmAnujArya divyAgnya" is attributed to
kandAdai aNNan. This, most probably is kOil
kandAdai aNNan who lived during svAmi
maNavALa mAmuni's time}. If that
is the case, then the slOka "sarvadEsa.." could have
been blessed by svAmi maNavALa mAmunigaL Himself.
