Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

But should not the chetana be having gratitude for

what he is getting? Then can that not be considered

as part of the means?

 

No, it cannot. As Azhvar says "ennaith thee manam

keduththAy" and "maruvith thozhum manamE thanthAy",

this feeling of gratitude that he has comes due to

his knowledge. This cannot be taken as "the Lord

will do His act only if this gratitude is shown"

- therefore it cannot be taken as being part of

the means.

 

Thus, the meanings of the "eka" have been shown.
