TirukkOnEri Dasyai

[Guest guest]

Sri:

SrimathE Ramanujaya Namaha:

 

Dear group

 

Some time back, I had posted a request information on Sri TirukkOnEri

Dasyai's commentary on Tiruvaimozhi.

 

ThirukkOnEri Dasyai was a lady sishya of Sri Nanjeeyar/Sri Nampillai.

I saw the reference to her commentary form the first time in Sri B.S.S

Iyengar's english translation on Tiruvaimozhi.

 

Smt Vasudha Narayanan, recently has published a chapter on TirukkOnEri

Dasyai's work (chapter 6). Following is the link for the book.
