Vyakhyana Saram:
Desikan is stating in this shloka that after the appearance of Pillai Lokacharyar in
this world, the base qualities of tamas and rajas that lead to anger, passion, arrogance
etc left the people and disappeared. Through instruction and through his granthas, he
developed sattva qualities in their minds. As knowledge and devotion grew in their minds,
the baser qualities disappeared, says Desikan.
