Bhagavat Ramanuja and Lord Krishna

Bhagavat Ramanuja and Lord Krishna

In the following verse of Mukundamala by Kulasekhara Azhwar, There is reference to Ramaunja Jagat thraya Guru. 

Hey gopalaka ,Hey kripa-jalanidHe  ,Hey sindhu-kanya-pate
Hey kamsantaka ,Hey gajendra-karuna-parina, Hey madhava
Hey ramanuja ,Hey jagat-traya-guro ,Hey pundarikaksha mam

Hey gopijana-natha palaya param janami na tvam vina

I understand PBA Swamy has wriiten a document detailing and comparing Bhagavat Ramanuja's contributions and Lord Krishna's achievements during his avatar. I would appreciate if any one can point a link to this document.

In Mukundamala, the title "Ramanuja" to Lord Krishna arises from his being brother (Anuj) of Bala(rama). The Jagat-traya-Guro title for Lord Krishna is from the fact of delivering Geethopadesam to the world through Arjuna and Lord Krishna discussions on the battlefield.

The song "Vizhikidaikkuma abhaya Karam Kidaikkuma" mostly sung in Sampradaya Bhajans is so generic leaving the singer and listeners to get connected to their respective Gurus.
