Pillai Lokacharyar authored eighteen rahasya granthas calledthe Ashtadasa Rahasyangal. Of these, the work SrivachanaBhushanam is considered the greatest by Srivaishnava Acharyas.Swami Manavala Mamunigal has dedicated seven verses in hisUpadesa Raththinamalai to show the greatness of this work. Azhagiya Manavalap Perumal Nayanar has written several granthas and vyakhyanams but many are not available at this time. Amongst these works, the grantha Acharya Hrudhayam isconsidered to be the greatest work. It was written to showthe greatness of Swami Nammazhvar and his works as at thattime some people were showing tendencies to put down Azhvar.Swami Desikan

is saluting these acharyas for their greatcontributions which show that Nammazhvar's works are theessence of the four Vedas and that these two granthas are like water to the people of this world who are trapped in the desert like samsAra.
