Q1 So of the three teachers, whho is the addressed as Lakshminahtan
here in the "Lakshminatha samarambam ...vande guruparamparam".

> He fulfilled His salkalpam (mission) by writing 18 Rahasya granthas.

Q2 How does this time and his works compare to Swami Desikan.?
I am just trying to learn as to their time period and the point in your writeup that
PillaiLokacharya is the first to document these Rahasya Granthas in
detail?
