SrI Vaishnavas prostrate only once in front of Lord, AchAryAs/bhAgavathAs. 

Can learned members or someone who has access to Sastras (for backing of this)
please reply with appropriate reasons.

======================================================

Some Desika Sampradaya scholars have given the following as their proper 
reasoning for multiple prostration:
"
SrI ParAsara Bhattar, in his thaniyan for thiruppAvai says 
"gOdA tasyai nama idam idam bhUya yEvAstu bhUyaH" 
ie. " .. may my repeated prostrations (namaskArams) to GodA increase forever .. 
"

Bhagavad RAmAnuja in His VaikuNTha Gadyam says 
" ... praNamya utthAya punaph punaha praNamya ...." ie. 
" ..prostrating many a times repeatedly by getting up and down ...". 
"
======================================================

Can someone knowledgeable please get authentic information with referrences to 
Shastras.
