Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
65. iththaal thanakkum piRarkkum uriththanRenkiRathu.

Meaning:
The ukAram that shows anya sEshatva nivrutti says that the
soul neither belongs to another (other than Him) nor does
it belong to itself.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
The phrase "anya sEshatvam kazhikai" is further explained
here. It is not just that the soul should not be enslaved
to another samsari who is like itself. It also means that
the soul should not be enslaved to itself. The term anya
includes the self as well, as the self belongs to the
same category as the anya's. anya seshatva nivrutti
includes the removal of enslavement to the self also;
there is no need to show a separate effort for the same.
SvasEshatva nivrutti is included therefore through the
mening of anya sEshatva nivrutti in the ukAram.

Thus far, the meanings of ukAram have been explained.
