Many thanks, Sri. Dileepan for your convincing words. aDiyEn

(as I will happily admit now) never intended to doubt the words

of our AchAryas or transgress the premise of Sri sampradAyam;

it was a learning exercise and thanks to everyone for indulging me.

If mere numbers meant quality, we must immediately replace the

rat as India's national animal in place of the tiger!! The resounding

replies by many members and above all that of Sri. Dileepan,

make me proud to be associated with Srivaishnava tradition.
