SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Now, hereafter, Alavandhar mentions in the third
sloka- verse- that it is only due to Sri Mahalakshmi's
power and grace ? anugraham to
bless and grant one with the fruits of Aiswaryam
[material wealth], Kaivalyam [enjoying one's own self-
jeevathma saathShAtkAram- Athma anubhavam] and finally
redemption and attainment of the Srivaikuntam, namely,
Moksham. The glories of Lakshmi Kataksham are saluted
here. YamunA hints that the Lord has no existence
outside Her and mentions that truth when saying to
PiraaTTi, "all jeevans get their good only due to your
grace alone".

Third verse of ChathuslOkI-

Eeshath tvad karuNA nirIkshaNa sudhA sandhukshaNaath
rakshayathE
nashtam praaktha dhalApadhasthribhuvanam
samprathyanthOdhayam
SrEyO nayaravindha lOchanamana: kaanthAprasAdhAdhrithE

Samsruthyakshara vaishNavaathvasunruNAm sambAvyathE
karhichith

Now, with your graceful mere glances for a fraction of
a second to spread, then, the sorrows and suffering of
three worlds [due to the absence of such glances from
her earlier] are now removed and the worlds are
completely protected to the largest extent. Without
the anugraham (merciful glances and blessings) of
Yours- the divine darling consort of the red lotus
eyed Lord; sweetheart of the red lotus eyed Lord
(mana: kaanThA:) the worldly pleasures, material
wealth, the jeevaathma anubhavam and the
mOkshAnubhavam ? whatever of these three- would never
be possible even a fraction of it. Can not be even
thought of; It is just not possible [nahi sambAvyathE]
at all times. [karhichith]..

In the third sloka beginning with "Eshat tvat
karunA.." - it is emphasised that all benefits
including Moksha are to be obtained through Lakshmi's
abiding grace.

Alavandhar thus points out that None will be able to
obtain the boons to enjoy the blessings of this
world, Kaivalyam and Parama Padam WITHOUT the
anugraham of the Consort of the Lotus-eyed Lord. Swami
Desikan offers a very fine commentary on the unique
blessings of Sri Devi and how she influences Her Lord
without usurping His power to grant wishes (Pala
Pradhana Adhikaratvam).

Here, Alavandhar declares PiraaTTi's jagath
kaaraNathvam says Sri Periya vacchaan Pillai as
discussed between PiLLaan and Nadaadhoor ammAL.
Though, due to other words, like Thribhuvanam,
ananthOdhayam, subsequent lines, Swamy Desikan
mentions that it not only covers shrushti, it includes
all rakshaNam and encompasses all Her protection right
upto recommending us [prapannans] to the Lord granting
us of mOksham, However, the jagathkaaraNathvam is also
enjoyable and is appropriate here writes Sri UttamUr
Swamy.

Swami Desikan explains that She through Her influence
turns him away from His intention to punish
(Nigrahonmukan) those, who stray from Saastraas. She
pleads for Her children, who have erred. When the Lord
decides to reward the Prapannaas (Anugrahonmukhan),
She grows his desire (Anuvritti) to bless the
Prapannaas even further. That is the nature of Her
Vaatsalyam and Purushakaara Quality. In LakshmI
thanthram (50) the saranagathi is performed with five
angas, at Her lotus feet and thus the mOksham granting
can also be given by Her and final chapter there with
Athri maharishi establishing that one can perform
saranagathi to Both Together as upAyam (means)- comments SrI UttamUr 
Swamy so mercifully mentioning all pramANams for reinforcing the 
verses of Sri Alavandhar and drilling the same into our heads.
