SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesiika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

Thus after mentioning that Sriman Narayana is the
Jagath kaaraNan (cause for the Universe), further,
based on srOthriyasya cha akAhamathasya- He is the One
who grants mOksham; and hence how can He be cause for
samsaaric affliction; Hence He can not grant moksham;
There should be someone else who grants mOksham- one
should not think. There is absolutely NONE who can
grant mOksham except Sriman Narayanan. In order to
grant moksham, He lets us go through samsaaric
affliction; - Alavandhar explains here. 

tvad AsrithAnAm jagad udhbavasthithi 
praNAsa samsaara vimOchanaadhaya:
bhavanthi leelA vidhayas cha vaidikA:
tvadeeya gambheera manOnusaariNa: [20]

udhbhava - shrushti [creation], sthithi [sustenance],
and praNAsa [destruction or dissolution] of the jagath
[Universe]; the final redemption [mOksham] from this
samsaaric affliction; - the direction [by manifesting]
? all of these are due to Your leelA [sport] and are
based on Your own accord [sankalpam] and also are in
accordance with vedic injunctions [which are Your
command] . All of these are for the sake and benefit
of Your devotees due to Your mercy on them. 

At all times and under all circumstances, for all
worlds, the creation, sustenance and dissolution are
all Your leelAs; the granting of mOksham for few [who
perform the pertinent saasthric injunctions for the
same] is also by You; why should You do all these
uninterruptedly- is all due to the beginningless karma
performed by jeevans and are never arbitrary. They
follow the karmic pattern based on their puNya,
paapams. You grant the births based on their own past
karmas. If You do not follow this and grant without
any basis, then You would be branded partial and
biased, merciless. Thus You perform samasaaric
affliction for the jeevans and also grant mOksham
based on their smallest deed towards Your Feet as an
excuse to take pity on them due to Your mercy and let
them get out of further births and deaths. Thus You do
not have any folly or defect on You. All these are
comprehended and admired by Your devotees and they
enjoy Your Supreme Lordship. And that helps in taking
refuge at Your feet. And those devotees [prapannas]
after taking refuge at Your feet enjoy You in this
world as well in the same fashion. 

This reminds me of Sri Kuresa?s Varadarajasthavam:
[posted by Sri Sadaopan Swami] ? which reinforces this
sthOthra of Alavandhar. 

tavAnantha guNasyApi shaDEva praTamE guNA:
yaisthvayEva jagath kukshou anyEpyanthar nivEsithA:

In this slOkam of KurEsar , there is a qualifier for
each of the six primary GuNAs that arose from Para
VaasudEva Moorthy.:

1. Prakrushtam Vij~nAnam : The capacity to know every
thing (Omniscience) that is far superior to that of a
Jeevan.

2. Athulam Balam: All pervasive and unstoppable
strength that can control and subdue every other
power.

3. Akhilam Isvaryam: the all comprehensive
Isvaryam(VibhUthi) including LeelA and Nithya VibhUthi
that confers on Him the title of Ubhaya VibhUthi
Naathan .

4. VimaryAdham Veeryam: Limitles valour .

5. ParamA sakthi: The supreme state as the power
behind the universe and its functioning .

6. Param Teja: The capacity to be the matchless
Supreme Radiance (Param JyOthi:, Svayam JyOthi:) 

The guNams exhibited by the Jeevans pale into
insignificance compared to the KalyANa GuNams of the
Lord. For instance, the Jn~Anam shown by the Jeevans
is alpam(insignificant), where as the Lord's Jn~Anam
is VilakshaNam ( matchlessly superior).

The auspicious effects of the six guNams of the Lord
on the jeevans are linkable to the Lord's dhivyAthma
Svaroopam and Dhivya mangaLa Vigraham.The Jagath
Srushti ( the creation of the world with its chEthanms
and achEthanams) , RakshaNam (protection ), VinAsam
(destruction ), conferral of true Jn~Anam and finally
the blessings of MokshAnugraham are manifestations of
the six guNAs in action. 

Thus Your leelA is all based on karma and they are all
based on vedic injunctions as well. They are all Your
instructions and Your agnyA. Sruthi, smruthir are my
command- You had said. You perform creation,
sustenance and dissolution in accordance with all this
based on your own accord. Those who perceive this
clearly, realising His greatness, take refuge at His
Feet and those few are granted by mOksham by Him ? in
line with their deed as an excuse and in line with His
lordship. Thus He alone needs to be sought after for
mOksham. He alone is the one ? responsible for
creation, sustenance and dissolution. [BrahmA, Rudra
are only instruments]
