Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
224. Ekam.
225. indha Eka sabtham SthAnapramANaththAlE avathAraNa
arththaththaik kAttugiRadhu.
226. "mAmeva ye prapathyante", "tameva sAdhyam", 
"tvameva upAya bUto me bhava", "ARenakku ninpAdhamE 
saraNAgaththozinthAy" enRum sollugiRapadiyE.
227. iththAl 'vraja' engiRa SveekAraththil upAya 
bAvaththaith thavirkkiRadhu.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Now the "ekam" is explained.

In many places such as "mAmeva ye prapathyante", 
avatAraNam is used. Therefore, just as in the ukAram
in the praNavam (see churnais 58 & 59), here too the
eka term shows the meaning of avatAraNam.

What is shown by this avatAraNam?

If it means the removal of attachment to other means,
that has already been said in the "sarvadharmAn 
parityajya". If it means the removal of attachment
to other devatas, that has already been said in the
"mAm". Therefore, stating these would cause the error
of repetition.

Thus, what it means is that this avatAraNam removes the
thought that the surrender, which is mentioned ahead in
the "vraja", is itself the means. That is, the idea that 
performing surrender means moksha and not doing it 
means loss of moksha is likely to happen and that is 
removed here.
