Vyakhyana Saram:
Desikan is stating in this shloka that Pillai Lokacharyar has destroyed the samsara ocean and gives moksha to everyone through the beauty of his divine body, his auspicious qualities and his Sri Suktis. Just as the Lord has provided several paths to moksha, so too Lokacharyar has provided several paths. We also see in this world, how a plantain tree provides many things through every part - such as the leaf, the fruit, the trunk, etc. Similarly, without difference Lokacharyar's divine body, his qualities and his speech all become reasons for the upliftment of the samsaris.
