[Guest guest]

Dear All :

 

Dr. Ramanuja has kindly brought to my attention two

points that need attention with the 23rd SlOkam of Lord

RanganAthA's Thirumanjana Kattiyam .

 

I am sure that he would not mind my sharing with you the questions

and the responses for them .

 

NamO Sri RanganAthAya ,
