Dear swAmy,
Yes, The GuruparamparA prabhAvam is not
clear whether six questions was asked or more or less.
The prabhannAmrudham, however, clearly
mentions that 4 questions were asked .These were asked through Thirukkachi nambi
to PEar aruLALan
1. upAyangaLiL edhu nalladhu? - Which is
the best of means?
2. mOksham adaivadhaRku mun anthima smrithi
vEANdumA? -Does one needs to have His thought before breathing last,to attain
mOksham?
3. endha janmathil mOksham adaivadhu? When
will the mOksham be granted?
4. endha AchAryanai nAn Asrayippadhu? To
Which spiritual mentor Should I surrender to/
Sri RamAnuja rquested Sri Thirukkachi Nambi
as follows: " These questions have been in mind and I have more or less made up
my mind regarding this. Please ask these questions to dhEvap
perumAL"
The Lord of course replied by fathoming the
mind of Thirukkachi Nambi, Himself.
Let it be. That was not my doubt actually.
It is clear that Sri Udayavar had the
questions in his mind-whether it was expressed or not.
However, DhEVap perumAL while explaining to
Thriukkachi NambigaL mentions that Sri RAmAnujar is like Sri KrshNA learning
from SAnthEpani.
Such type of questions emanating from
already learned people shoud be categorised, where was my
doubt?

Subject: [ramanuja] The Six Questions dear shri padmanabhan,
thanks foryour feedback.
as for the "Aaru vaarthai", though we have the six
answers furnished by Perarulaalan, we do not appear to have the precise
questions asked, nor do we know that they were six in number. i shall be
grateful for any additional light you can throw on the matter.
regards, dasan, sadagopan
