Vyakhyana Saram:
Sitadevi was kindapped by Ravana and placed in the middle of
the ocean in the Asoka vana. There She was surrounded by
rAkshasis who tortured in many ways trying to force Her to
accept the improper advances of Ravana. To Her in this state
came Hanuman bringing the message of the Lord and His ring.
In this situation, She represents the jIva; the ocean represents the samsAra with its birth and death; Hanuman represents the acharya who brings the message of the Lord to the suffering jIva (that He is the one who is looking for the jIva and trying to attain him). The rAkshasis torturing Her represent the desires of land, gold and lust, which torture the jIva and push them to an undesirable state which is represented by Ravana.
Here, Swami Desikan is saluting Swami Pillai Lokacharyar as the acharya who is bringing the message of the Lord to the suffering jIva samUha. Just as Maruti brought a ring from the Lord to Her, so too Pillai Lokacharyar has brought forth this jewel amongst granthas called Srivachana Bhushanam.
