Vyakhyana Saram:
In this shloka, Desikan states that Pillai Lokacharyar is like a Sun compared
to others. Again, this is not to put down other acharyas, but to praise
Lokacharyar ("nahi nindA nyAya"). In our sampradhayam, our Azhvars and
Acharyas have been called the Sun, because, just as the Sun removes the
external darkness, they were born and removed the internal darkness. Azhvar
is called "vakuLa bhUShaNa bhAskara"; Thirumangai Azhvar is called "loka
divAkara"; Ramanuja is called "rAmAnuja divAkara:". Desikan says that with
this Sun present, why seek anyone else?
