Vyakhyana Saram:Through the shlokas thus far, Swami Desikan celebrated in detail all the greatness of Swami Pillai Lokachariar. In this final shloka (phala shruti), he states that whoever reads this work and thereby shows great devotion to Pillai Lokachariar will attain the great wealth that is moksha ('AchArya abhimAnam'). It is understood here that to show the veracity of his words, he is using his titles such as Sarvatantra Svatantra, Kavitarkika Simha and Sri Venkatesha Kavi.
