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