Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
20. karmagnAnabhaktikaLilE izhinthavarkaLukku virOthiyaip 
pOkki avaRRaith thalaikkattik kodukkum.

Meaning:
For those who are interested in following either the Karma 
yoga or the Gnyana yoga or the Bhakti yoga, the Thirumanthra 
will help remove the obstacles that prevent them (who have
taken its help) from starting in that path and will help 
them in completing their journeys in that path.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
The Thirumanthra is further celebrated by showing that it 
will help support the Karma, Gnyana and Bhakti yogas.

As explained by Sri Alavandar in Gitartha Sangraha 
"karmayogas tapastIrtha dAnayagnyAdiasEvanam", the karma 
yoga is the use of penance, following rituals such as 
homas, etc. faithfully, completely and till the time that 
they bear the fruit seeked. "gnyAnayogo jitasvAntai: 
parishuddhaatmani sthiti:" - gnyAna yoga is winning over 
the senses and forever focusing the thought and meditating 
on the pure soul. "bhaktiyoga: paraikAntaprItyaa: 
dhyaanaadishu sthiti:" - bhakti yoga is having great love 
only to the paramapurusha and fixing that love via 
meditation, archana, etc.

Amongst these yogas, for those who wish to follow the karma 
yoga, if they perform japa and homa with the Thirumanthra, 
it will remove the obstacles that prevent them from even 
beginning this yoga and continue to help such that they 
always stay in that path. If they chose the gnyana yoga, 
as they recite the manthra, it will remove all obtsacles 
in following this path and will help them fulfill their 
journey. If they chose the bhakti yoga, and take the 
Thirumanthra's help, it will remove the obtsacles to that 
path and will keep growing their bhakti all the time.
