Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
19. aisvarya kaivalya bagavallApankaLai AsaippattavarkaLukku
avaRRaik kodukkum.

Meaning:
The Thirumanthra will act as the upAya in providing to those
who utter it through japa and homa, that which they seek: be 
it wealth in this and the next worlds, kaivalya which is ATma 
bhOga, or His lotus feet which is the parama purushArththa.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Previously it was stated that Thirumanthra will give to everyone
what they seek when they recite it. That is being explained here.

Wealth is of two kinds. One is the wealth of this world which is
living like a king. Attaining Swarga and being there with some 
title and power is wealth of the other world. Kaivalyam is the
realization of the soul; that is attaining Atma jnAna and 
enjoying that realization. The parama purushArttha is bhagavat
prApti; that is, attaing His lotus feet and the fruit of 
kainkarya. The Thirumanthra will act as the sAdana and through 
the acts of japa and homa will give all these fruits to those 
who seek them ("aihalowkikamaishvaryam svargAtyam pAralowkikam, 
kaivalyam bagavantanjca mantroyam sAdayishyati").
