Melkote Thiruman as name signifies the Thiruman in Solid stick form is made from sand of Melkote in Karnataka. Melkote Thiruman might be used by Swami Ramanujar and Swami Desikan during the stay in melkote and Satyagalam.
The Vaishnavite Paribhasha (colloquial) for wearing Thiruman (Auspicious Clay) is ThirumaN Kappu Saatal. The key word here seems to be Kaapu or Protection. That protection is achieved through the Lord Sri Mahavishnu"s weapons celebrated in Panchaayudha Sthotram. Like Dig Bhandhanam before Mantra recitation, the request for protection of the limbs of one body and protection from above, behind, sides is a well known practice in Ahnikaas (Performance of Daily rituals prescribed). Hence, ThirumaN Kappu can be viewed as a Kavacham, that confers protection on the Vaishanavaas adoring that by invoking the weapons and the power of the Lord. The freedom from fear of the Thiruman kappu wearing Vaishnavas referred to Eswar's note relates to the Mahaviswasam of the Vishnu Bhaktas in Lord's protection from the three kinds of afflictions of life.
