Vyakhyana Saram:
Samsara has been described as a snake in our sampradhayam. It is the five
headed snake that binds us through the five senses. Our acharyas have also
described our body as a snake. When Anandazhvan was bit by a snake in his
garden in Thirumalai, he remarked that one snake had bit another and waited
to see which snake was stronger. Desikan states that this snake has bit
the beings of this world and they are collapsed due to that. Their revival
and crossing of this ocean is faciliated by the mere dust off the divine
feet of Pillai Lokacharyar.
His mercy flows like a river of nectar and through his Sri Suktis he grows the plant of knowledge in the hearts of devotees and leads them to liberation.
