As a drop from the ocean of scripture that came from the Jina's mouth; the commentary says it is the one benefactor of the world, hence the name.

Detailed answer

Verse 28 pictures an ocean whose waves are all substances and whose two banks are the means for this world and the next; the treatise is a drop from it. The commentary adds in brackets that because it is the sole benefactor of the world it is named Kalyanakaraka.
