Vyakhyana Saram:
In this shloka, Swami Desikan celebrates the quality of
compassion in Pillai Lokacharyar. He states that he possessed
no good deeds and was the home for all bad deeds. Due to that
he did not seek Pillai Lokacharyar and instead went far away
from him. However, due to his great vAtsalyam which is literally
an ocean (similar to Namperumal calling Manavala Mamunigal an
ocean of good qualities "guNa arNavam"), Lokacharyar ignores
that behaviour. Again and again, without waiting for anyone,
he comes himself and protects. This is what Madhurakavi Azhvar
said about Nammazhvar in his pasuram as "payan anRAgilum paNgu
allar Agilum seyal nanRAgath thirththi paNi koLvAn". It is due
to this quality that he is the acharya for this world
(lokAcharya) and not just to a few disciples.
