Vyakhyana Saram:
In this shloka, Desikan says that he considers Pillai Loakcharyar in his mind
as Agastya muni.
Agastya used the ocean water as the water to perform achamanam (the water used for ritual purification). He digested and killed the asura Vatapi. He is proficient in the Tamil language (Tamil is known as Agastyam). He resides in the southern direction.
Pillai Lokacharyar reduces the samsara ocean to be the small quantity used in achamanam. He kills the terrible asura that is anger. He is proficient in the verses of Azhvars written in the Tamil language. He lives in Srirangam that is in the south.
Due to these, Desikan considers Pillai Lokacharyar to be another Agastya.
