Vyakhyana Saram:
The land that is waiting for water from the rains is called deva mAtrukam, while the land that is expecting water from the rivers is called nadI mAtrukam. When this world was waiting for the water from the dark cloud that is Krishna, it was the former. The souls that are in the fields of this world were therefore dried up. However, Desikan says, when the flood of Sri Suktis flowed from the divine face of Pillai Lokacharyar, this world became nadI mAtrukam. The ensuing river of mercy came out through 18 outlets (the ashtadasa rahasya granthas) and enriched the fields, thereby saving the souls in them.

Through his Sri Suktis these souls gathered the right knowledge and with the lamp lit by Pillai Lokacharyar in their minds, they attained liberation. The world therefore became useful only by the Sri Suktis of Pillai Lokacharyar, says Swami Desikan.
