Vyakhyana Saram:
Pillai Lokacharyar gave the true meanings of the Rahasya Traya through his rahasya granthas and made them readily available to the people of this world whose minds are covered by the darkness of ignorance. Knowing the varied nature of the people of this world, he gave the meanings in many different forms - in short, in some detail and in great detail. The works that give the meanings of the Rahsya Traya are Yathrucchikappadi, Mumukshuppadi, Sriya:pathippadi, Paranthapadi, ThanippraNavam, Thanithdvayam, Thaniccharamam & Sarasangraham.

Swami Desikan is saluting the great mercy in Pillai Lokacharyar's heart that made him stand above all in providing these works, that gave the Rahasya Traya knowledge to the people and drove away the avidya in their minds.
