Vyakhyana Saram:
Vilanjsolai Pillai was one of the disciples of Pillai Lokacharyar. He was born in
a low caste like Thiruppanazhvar and Maraneri Nambi. It was to Vilanjsolai Pillai
and Koorakuloththama Dasar that Pillai Lokacharyar instructed to bring Thiruvaymozhi
Pillai, then known as Srisailesa, into the Srivaishnava fold from his position as
minister in the city of Madurai. Thiruvaymozhi Pillai also learned the meanings
of Sri Vachana Bhushanam from Vilanjsolai Pillai at Thiruvananthapuram, as per the
instruction of Koorakuloththama Dasar. When Vilanjsolai Pillai left this world
there, Thiruvaymozhi Pillai performed final rites for him without worrying about
caste - just like Periya Nambi did for Maraneri nambi.
Vilanjsolai Pillai wrote the work Saptha Kadhai which explains in seven pasurams the greatness of acharya vaibhavam.
Desikan is saluting this disciple of Pillai Lokacharyar in this shloka. His ascension to His divine abode, at Thiruvananthapuram, is explained as being due to the relationship with the divine lotus feet of Pillai Lokacharyar. In the Srivaishnava sampradhayam, it is the relationship to the acharya's lotus feet that gets moksha to a Srivaishnava.
