Dear All:
Sriman Jayasayanan has summarized well the arguments
about Prapatthi being an independent means for Moksham.
I will add more information on this important subject soon.

Subject: Regarding No prapatti in Gita indicated by Shrimad Ramanujachariar
Adiyen Dasan:
Few days before I saw this query been raised
To this answer was given by Nainaaraacharyar in his Rahasyatraya Saaraartha
Sangrah
Shrimad Ramanujacharya, as criticised by few, said to interpret this line as
prapatti is only a limb of bhakti but not an independent means. Aacharya
explains that intention of Bhaashyakaara is different. Lord at many places
indicated that he is bestower of all that one wants and prapatti is capable of
conferring all that one needs. Shrimad Ramanujacharya is of the view that when
prapatti which is all, effacacious is made a limb of bhaktiyoga, these latter
yogas also will become capable of conferring fruits on the aspirants. This only
adds to the great efficacy of prapatti.
Svetaasvataram vide VI-18
yo brahmaanam vidadhaati poorvam yo vai vedaamshcha prahinoti tasmai
tamha devam aatmabuddhiprakaasam mumukshur vai charanam aham prapadye
as a proof sanctioning prapatti as a direct means of salvation. Aacharya points
out that charama sloka is explanatory of this mantra
