Yes a big list of these is given in 'Virodhi Parihaarangal' told by Swamy Ramanujar to Vangipuratthu nambi and others. Commentary on these was written by Vangipuratthu nambi in the same work. The dos and donts of physical, spiritual, metaphysical, domestic life, social life, philosophical and other aspects have been dealt with in that work in manipravalam language. The work is very interesting and has to be studied by every srivaishnava. A simple English translation can be found at http://mannaram.tripod.com/ramanuja/ Regarding taking of Arathi, I dont know the significance of that, but for srivaishnava that concept of others does not apply.
