"sIr ulagAriyan seidarul narkkalai tEsu pozhindidu nAl"

sIr ulagAriyan - glorious Swamy Pillai lokacarya
seidarul narkalai - the great rahasya works of Swamy Pillailokacarya 
tEsu pozhindidu nAl - started to shower its lustre - unending stream of 
knowledge

This phrase hails that it was due to the birth of Swamy Manavala Mamunigal, the 
rahasya works of Swamy Pillai lokacarya became crystal clear to all the 
knowledge mongers. Swamy Manavala Mamunigal wrote elaborate commentaries on the 
three most important works of Swamy Pillai Lokacarya namely - 
1. Srivacana bhUshanam - dealing in detail about Bhagavan, His concert, the 
duties of samsaris, greatness of acarya, the unconditional grace of the Lord 
being the means to attain moksha, the concepts of saranagati and acarya 
samarsrayanam. 
2. Mumukshupadi - in depth analysis of the three rahasyams , tirumandiram, 
dvayam, and caramaslokam.
3. tatva trayam - elaborate study of Isvara, cit and acit.

All these works are in tamil. But being sutra granthas, the wrods used by Swamy 
Pillai Lokacarya are minimal. So it needed a right commentator to bring out the 
esoteric meanings embedded in it. It was fulfilled by Swamy Manavala Mamunigal 
who is known as "viSada vAk sikhAmani " - one who is adept in making even a lay 
man understand difficult concepts with his writing/oratorical power .

So ippasi mUlam is the root for Swamy Pillai Lokacaryas works.
Let us hail ippasi mUlam.
