RE: Veda bhashyam

VIsistadvaita basically agrees with sayana bhasya and Bhatta Bhaskara's
commentary on the VEDAS in general. No separate bhasya for most portions of
the mantras are needed. However, sayana's commentary is advaitic.

Hence the Visistadvaitic teachers have written separate bhasyas on the main
deviations from advaitic views in :

vedartha samgraha - sri Ramanuja
Sribhasya - for vedanta sutras
SriRangaramanuja bhasya for upanisads
etc. as mentioned by sri Malolan Kadambi.

asmadgurubhyo namah.

If you are refering to the Purva MimAmsa, Swami Desikan's mimAmsa pAduka and
sEshAvara mimAmsam are bhAshyams in the visisthAdvaita darshanam.
Coming to the Uttara mimAmsa, there is a plethora of bhAshyam-s. Ramanuja's
Vedartha Sangraha is one. Ranga Ramanuja's Upanishads bhAshyams are the
other. There are many other bhAshyams, like Swami Desikan's
IshAvAsyOpanishad bhAshyam for example.

The pAncharatra and vaikhAnasa agamams which are accepted by visisthAdvaita
incorporate certain elements of tantrA. AalavandArs' Agama PramAnyam and
Swami Desikan's pAncharAtra raksha are considered ideal 'commentaries' in
understanding the aagamAs.
