avathArikai (Introduction)
When asked “In that case, are both equal in their favours?” piLLai lOkAchAryar mercifully explains.
sUthram 436
upakAryavasthu gauravaththAlE AchAryanil kAttil migavum upakArakan ISvaran.
Simple Explanation
Based on the greatness of the favour done, ISvaran is greater benefactor than AchAryan.
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
upakArya vasthu …
That is – if the entities granted by both ISvaran and AchAryan are analysed, by the greatness of a) the entity granted by AchAryan, that is bhagavAn who is prathama parvam (initial stage) and is the cause for both bondage and liberation, and b) the entity granted by bhagavAn, that is AchAryan who is charama parvam (final stage) and is the cause for liberation only, ISvaran who granted AchAryan is greater than AchAryan who granted ISvaran.
