Vyakhyana Saram:
Sriman Narayana is known as the ocean of mercy. However, it is difficult
for even His mercy to flow toward the chetana who has performed countless
sins and no good deeds. Like a great mountain, they try to block even His
grace. But, Pillai Lokacharyar's mercy flows even toward these souls and
he lets them attain salvation. In this manner, he is even greater than
Him. Hence Swami Desikan says that we can give a salute to His great
qualities such as mercy as we now have Pillai Lokacharyar's grace.
Here it is appropriate to think of Lokacharyar's thaniyan that says he is the medicine that saves the soul that has been bit by the Samsara snake ("samsAra bhogi sandaShTa jIva jIvAtave nama:").
