Had learned through previous Sudarsanam issues that Sharanagati means surrendering oneself to Emperuman and one need not worry about any burdens from then. If one continues to worry even after sharanagati, does it imply One has not surrendered the soul properly? Should he surrender again? Even if we have not surrendered our burdens properly, it is only our Acharya who surrenders on our behalf appropriately; and by implication, there are no shortcomings in our Sharanagati; How do we understand this?

If one’s absolute faith is deficient after performing sharanagati, Emperuman transforms the not-so-faithful into becoming faithful and takes him to salvation, states Swami Desikan.
We should possess absolute trust that Acarya has performed sharanagati for us in a righteous manner. When we do sharanagati on our own we would falter. Be it ukti nishtai or Acarya nishtai, we should trust that Acharyan would have performed it as per the ordains. Only if we possess absolute faith in Acharya then salvation is assured.
