Vyakhyana Saram:
Swami Alavandar, in his Stotra Ratnam, prays to the Lord that He should
see neither his good deeds nor his bad deeds and instead should notice
only the fact that he is associated with Sriman Nathamunigal and for that
reason alone should shower His grace on him.
Similarly, in this shloka, Swami Desikan states that he does not have the strength to follow the paths of Karma, Bhakti or Gyana as stated in the Vedantas; and his senses are trapped by doing things that are forbidden in the Shastras. Therefore, he says that Swami Lokachariar, who is the avatara of Kanchi Varadaraja, should shower his grace on him by seeing only his association with his acharyas Athreya Ramanuja (his acharya Kidambi Ramanuja Pillan) and Swami Ramanuja.
This ties with Swami Lokachariar's srisukti 'AchArya abhimAnamE uththAragam'.
