sarvadEsa dasA kAlEshu..

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.
