In Paramartha stuti, Swami Vedanta desikan praises Lord Vijayaraghava in thiruputkuzhi as the best of the warriors and submits to him. He gives examples of how one can realize the true state of adiyen, seshatvam, through 3 characters associated with rAmA.
Jatayu never surrendered to rAmA explicitly, but fought for righteousness with utter disregard to its life. Such an attitude helped rAmA to reach to it and provide succor in that very life itself. Some people can live like that. Vibhishana explicitly surrendered to rAmA and accepted whatever life rAmA gave him. Some people live like that. Garuda, Adisesha etc are always at the service of the Lord. His flood of grace envelops them always. Some people live like that.
All these paths help people realize that seshatvam, the state of adiyen. Artha means both knowledge and wealth. Parama-artha is that is superior to artha. Superior to artha is that seshatvam, being adiyen which controls the artha. Since this stuti gives the way for seshatvam, Vedanta desikar called parama-artha stuti.
