Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
88. * tholaivillimangalam thozhum engaiyAlE SvarUpam
solliRRu; * vEngkadaththuRaivArkku nama engaiyAlE upAyam
solliRRu; * anthithozhum sol engaiyAlE palam solliRRu.

Meaning:
The pasuram "thuvAlil mAmaNi mAdamOngu tholaivillimangalam
thozhum ivaLai" shows the SvarUpam of Azhvar. In this
phrase, the word thozhum (worship) is synonymous to namaS.
Therefore, this namaS shows the SvarUpa. The pasuram 
"vEngkadaththuRaivArrku nama" explains the upAya; therefore,
the nama: used here shows the upAya. In the phrase "mElaith
thoNdu ugaLiththu anthi thozhum sollup peRREn", the 
kainkaryam in prApti is shown through the word thozhum. 
Therefore, the nama: also shows the phala.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
As said before the namaS not only removes the obstacles to
the SvarUpa, upAya and purushArttha, but it also expresses
the same.

"thuvAlil mAmaNi mAdamOngu tholaivillimangalam thozhum 
ivaLai" shows the nature of the jIva which is enslaved to
Him such that it will go to those places which He likes. 
Here the word thozhum is equivalent to the namaS and 
therefore the namaS describes the nature (SvarUpa) of the
jIva.

"vEngkadaththuRaivArrku namavennalAm kadamaiyathu 
sumanthArkatkE" shows the removal of svarakshAna. The nama:
here expresses the upAya which is Him.

In "anthi thozhum sollup peRREn", Azhvar shows that when 
kainkarya prApti occurs, its higher form is decribed by the
namaS. Therefore the thozhum sol stands for the nama: and 
as such shows the phala.
