Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
76. ukAraththai vivarikkiRathu namaSSu; akAraththai 
vivarikkiRathu nArAyaNapatham; makAraththai vivarikkiRathu
chathurththi; nArapathamenRum solluvArkaL.

Meaning:
The ukAram which is taken as avatAraNam that removes anya
sEshatvam is explained by the nama: part. The akAram which
shows Him who is the rakshaka is explained by the nArAyaNa
part. The makAram which shows the jIvAtma that has the
quality of sEshatvam, is explained by the fourth case (Aya).
It is also said that the nAra part explains the makAram.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai: 
Previously it was told that the mantra sEsham explains the
praNavam. This is being shown here.

The ukAram whose meaning is avatAraNam was shown to remove
anya sEshatvam before. SvasEshatvam (enslaved to oneself) is 
included inside the anya sEshatvam. Therefore, the nama: 
which removes the SvasEshatvam explicitly, explains the 
ukAram.

NArAyaNa explains in detail the nature of Him who is the
rakshaka, the nature of the chEtanas who are protected by
Him, the guNas which are required for the protection and
the method of giving the protection. Therefore it explains
the akAram.

Without doing some service the sEshatvam will not bear fruit
and the fourth case shows this service. This fourth case 
explains the makAram which shows the Atma that holds the
sEshatvam.

The Atma which is the meaning of makAram has the qualities
of being eternal, one and many. These qualities are shown
by the nAra part and therefore it can also be said to 
explain the makAram. Ra comes from the root riJN-kshayE 
which means that which can be destroyed. Therefore nara 
means that which is not destroyed; that is, it is eternal 
(nityatvam). Through the meaning of community, this becomes
nAra and shows the quality of many. Similarly other qualities
can be shown.
