Vyakhyana Saram:
Kurakuloththama Dasar was one of the primary disciples of Pillai Lokacharyar. Yatindra Pravana Prabahavam states that he along with other select disciples spent their time entirely in the service of Pillai Lokacharyar. When Pillai Lokacharyar was in the final stages of his life in this world, he told Kurakuloththama Dasar and Vilanjsolai Pillai about Thirumalaiyazhvar (also known as Srisailesar) who was in the services of the king at Madurai, and told them to bring him back into the Srivaishnava fold. Just as Alavandar asked his disciples to teach Ramanuja the various rahasyas and meanings, so too Pillai Lokacharyar told his disciples to teach Srisailesar the various meanings.

Of this, Kurakuloththama Dasar was instructed to teach Srisailesar the meanings of the work Sri Vachana Bhushanam. Similar to Manakkal Nambi rescuing Alavandar from royal matters into the sampradhayam, Kurakuloththama Dasar rescued Srisailesar from the king's court. He then taught him Sri Vachana Bhushanam and its inner meanings. In the Rahasya grantha acharya paramparai, Kurakuloththama Dasar comes after Pillai Lokacharyar.

Swami Desikan is saluting this great acharya in this shloka. As he was well versed in Sri Vachana Bhushanam and taught that to Srisailesar, he talks about that also in this shloka. He states that Kurakuloththama Dasar attained that knowledge and the honors that followed it, due to the fact that he was near and dear to Pillai Lokacharyar and was submerged in the flood of grace that flowed from Pillai Lokacharyar.
