Vyakhyana Saram:
Swami Desikan is stating that Nampillai's divine suktis
are faultless jewels. This is most appropriate. The story
of the acharya who used one of his srisuktis to remove
the doubt on Ramayana in the mind of the king should be
remembered here. His disciples have written a pasuram
that states that a few words of Nampillai will fetch a
whole country.
As opposed to the jewels of this world that stay the same, Desikan points out that Nampillai's srisuktis grow after they have been given by Pillai Lokacharyar to his disciples. This is the nature of knowledge. It does not reduce or stay stagnant but keeps growing. It is like a shopkeeper (Pillai Lokacharyar) who sells jewels but they keep growing in his shop - Desikan is pointing out this amazing situation in his shloka.
