Sri Krishnan swami,

There is no question of overshot in this. Actually I was surprised at 
the sudden end to the "SrisailEsa mantra Vaibhavam" if it can be 
named so. It was like somebody snatching away the pot of nectar while 
one is enjoying it.

Please do not stop it. Pour out the entire thing that you have 
said "many more are there". We are all here very eager to learn.

Subject: [ramanuja] Srisailesa mantra


SrisailEsa dayApatram dhIbhaktyAdi guNArNavam
yatIndra pravanam vandE ramyajAmataram munim

This is considered to be a mantra from various angles. 

1. mantAram trAyatE iti mantra: it protects one who meditates or 
chants it.
This mantra protects the bhaktas of Swamy manavala mamunigal. 

2. bhagavan is known as mantram since he is universal protector. 
tiruneduntandakam
- "mandirattai ( bhagavAnai) mandirattal (tirumandirattAl) maravAdu" 
alwar advises
his manas to praise and enjoy bhagavan through tirumandiram. 
Srisailesa dayapatram
is a mantram since revealed by the universal protector. It protected 
even the
universal protector.

3. Some srivaishnavas approached badri narayana for mantra upadesam. 
Badri narayana
had earlier preached tirumandiram to nara who was himself. To the new 
srivaishnavas,
he preached half of srisailesa mantra and guided them to go to 
srirangam for
the balance half. They came to srirangam and took part in mmunigal 
kalakshEpam
where there heard ranga nayakam uttering the first half of the same 
verse and
continuing with the second half. Since badri narayana not satisfied 
with giving
tirumandiram alone, revealed srisailesa mandiram, it is certainly a 
mantram.
pramanam : "sIr saila mandirattin sayamana padiyaiyum tandu, mElum 
padiyaga
tiruvarangam selvIrkal " Since srisailesa mantram took birth at the 
same place
and person as tirumandiram. 

4. If a doctor prescribes a new medicine today, it would supercede or 
take precedence
over earlier prescription. He would give a new prescription. vaidyO 
nArAyanO
hari : Sriman nArAyana the doctor gave an earlier medicine - 
tirumandiram. To
be more effective gave a new medicine in srisailEsa mantram. So it 
would get
added or supercede tirumandiram. 

5. tirumandiram talks about "a" - paramAtma full of mercy and 
gnana, "ma" -
jIvAtma who is a  sesha bhUta with gnanam. in this mantra also
srisailesa stands for "a", pAtram stands for "ma" . makAram the jIva 
is full
of knowledge is told in - dhI bhaktyAdi guNArnavam. Similarly for all 
other
parts of this mantra.   

There are many more reasons for srisailesa dayAptram to be praised as 
tirumandiram.
I stop here, as I have already overshot.
