Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha I guess what you are missing is that this is the perspective of the "Lord". He wants to attribute the moksham/his krupai to "its" act (Sahetukam). But from the jeevatma's(prapanna) perspective, it realizes that it did nothing to attain moksham and that it was HIS unconditional krupai(Nirhetukam) that gave it the moksham. I guess I have pretty much explained these different perspectives in my previous post.
