Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
77. adaivE vivariyAthozhikiRathu virOthi pOy anubavikka
vENdukaiyAlE.

Meaning:
Why is the order in the praNavam not followed in the mantra
sEsham that explains it? The nama: that explains the ukAram
came ahead because the obstacles such as I and mine have to
be removed first before experiencing Him.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai: 
In the praNavam, there is an order which is akAram, ukAram
and then makAram. If the mantra sEsham explains the praNavam,
should it also not follow the same order? That, is the 
nArAyaNa part that explains the akAram should have been 
first. Instead why do we see that the nama: part is ahead?

The reason is as follows. Through the Narayana part which
explains the akAram one gets the bhagavat anubhavam. There
are obtsacles to this experience which are ahankAram and
mamakAram. As the removal of these through the nama: will
lead to the bhagavat anubhavam being good, it is appropriate
that the nama: be ahead. Just as the bee is removed before 
the honey is taken, so too through the nama: the obstacles
are removed and through the nArAyaNa the honey which is 
bhagavat anubhavam is taken.
