By taking each word contained in the manthram the explanation is given in a unique way. There are ten words in the manthram. They are:-

 

1.      Sri

2.      Math

3.      Naaraayana

4.      Charanam

5.      Saranam

6.      Prabadyay

7.      Srimathey

8.      Naaraayana

There are many ways at looking at the words  in this mantram. It can be looked as one part (since it is one mantram), two parts (as it has two parts: "Sreeman Naaraayana CharaNau SaraNam prapadye" and  "Sreemate Naaraayana nama:". ), as three, four, five, six (words 1, 2, 3 and 4  are taken as one word), seven, eight, nine and ten.

 
In this series we will use the 10 words as lited above as listed by Sri PBA Swami,
The dwaya-mantra conveys us 10 points based on words listed above.
