Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
241. sharaNam.
242. upAyamAga.
243. indha sharaNa sabdham rakshithAvaiyum gruhaththaiyum
upAyaththaiyum kAttak kadavadhEyAgilum ivvidaththil 
upAyaththaiyE kAttugiRadhu; kIzhOdE sEra vENdugaiyAlE.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
The word "sharaNam" is explained as "being the means".

As in "upAye gruharakshitroc sabdhac sharaNamityayam 
vartate", the word sharaNam can point to the protector,
the home and the means. But, here it is shown to have
the meaning of being the means. Since it comes under
the prior discussion of leaving all dharamas and 
seeking only Him as the means, this is the appropriate
meaning for this word here.
