Dear Shri Srinivasachary,

     The sloka" YO vEtthi yugapat sarvam pratyakshENa sadA svata:
                       tam praNamya Harim shAstram nyAyatatvam
prachakshmahE"
                forms the opening couplet of Sri Nathamuni's "NyAya
Tattvam", which is supposed to have refuted the classical NyAya school
propounded by Sage Gautama as also Advaitic concepts of Maya etc. Three
slokas from this work are quoted by Sri Ramanuja in Sri Bhashya and a few
more by Swami Desikan in his "NyAya SiddhAnjanam", but  little else is now
available of this great work.  Apart from this, Sri Nathamuni is also
reputed to have authored "YOga RAhasya", obviously a work of Yoga-this is
also unfortunately unavailable now.
However, the effort for which Sri Nathamuni is held in everlasting
grattitude by Srivaishnavites is the collection, compilation and setting to
music of the nAlAyira Divya PrabandAs, through unremitting penance.  dasan,
sadagopan
