Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
135. ivaL sannidhiyAle kAkam thalai peRRathu; athillAmaiyAlE
rAvaNan mudinthAn.

Meaning:
Because She was with Sri Rama, the crow (kAkAsura) which 
committed the greater sin survived. Because She was not with 
Him, Ravana who committed the lesser sin (compared to the 
crow) was killed.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
That Her mediation is required can be seen even during His
vibhavAtAra.

During the Rama avatar, the crow (Kakasura) committed the 
gravest of sins against Sita. It should have become the 
target for the Brahmastra sent by Rama and been killed for 
its sin. Instead it became the target for His grace and was 
saved, because of the presence of Sita next to Rama. Ravana
who committed a lesser sin, however was killed by Rama's
arrows, because of Her separation from Rama.

Thus far, the "srimad" term has been explained.
