Vyakhyana Saram:
Swami Desikan celebrates the auspicious qualities of Pillai Lokacharyar. He says that, even though, Lokacharyar has many great qualities, it is that special quality of compassion to his fellow beings that shines the most. This is similar to celebrating the quality of vAtsalyam the most in Lord Srinivasa.

Vedanta Desikan is saying that it is this quality that led Lokacharyar to present the great meanings of the sampradhayam - such as the Lord's nirhetuka krupa - openly and in an easy form through his granthas to everyone; thereby removing their fear of samsara.
