-SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAAMHA.
Dear Sri Mani, 
Yes,
This is by Adhi Shankara.
One special feature of this composition is that this can be sung in 
one breath without any gap. The words are flowing out in such 
lucidity that the angas of braething like poorakam, kumbakam adn 
rEsakam  are being taken care of while one sings / recites  this 
composition. Even a person suffering at the moment from breathing 
problems like asthma/ wheezing can sing this without difficulty.You 
can notice the non-stop flow in M.s' rendition.
The meaning, the vibration etc have made this composition an immortal 
one!!
