Dasaithan The ten meanings of Dwaya Mantram are thus explained.
Mantharam thrayathey the bhakthas who contemplate on these ten meanings
of the manthra are protected by the Dwaya
Mantram by virtue of its sound effect as well as by the
realisation of the meanings as explained
Adigatha nigamaha This manthram is favoured by the Vedas.
The Gatavalli portion of the Vedam contains the full text
of this Dwaya Manthram. This was first revealed by
Paramatma to Sri Mahalakshmi in the Vaikunta Loka.
Subsequently Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam taught the
manthram together with Thirumantram and Charama Slokam to
Ranganayaki Thayar who in turn taught to Vishvaksena.
Shadpadhaha There is a practice to treat the first word as
three words like 'sriman', 'narayana' and 'charanow' or two
words like 'srimannarayana' and 'charanow' and explain the
meaning. Parasara Bhattar is against both the practices. To
keep the wordings intact as per the way of our Acharyars,
Sri Bhattar had specified that there are six words in the Dwaya Manthram.
