Vyakhyana Saram:
In the final prakaranam of Sri Vachana Bhushanam, Pillai Lokachariar gives
the essential meaning of the sampradhayam - which is that the true path to
liberation is the affection of an acharya. Not the affection that a
disciple has to an acharya, but the affection that the acharya has for
his disciple. This is captured in his srisukti "AchArya abhimAnamE
uththAragam". In this shloka, Swami Desikan prays to Pillai Lokachariar
to have his mind let go of all other things and follow this divine path
mentioned in that greatest of works, Sri Vachana Bhushanam.
