You have misunderstood what i wrote. Clearly, anya-devatA aradhana is not
sanctioned for us Sri Vaishnavas.

Point 1: We never ended up accepting other deities, this was never mentioned
in any thread, either implicitly or explicitly.

Point 2: I reiterate this point, since the Sri Vaishnava position on
anya-devAtas has not been clearly understood by a vast majority of Sri
Vaishnavas and other non-Sri Vaishnavas as well.

This old post should clarify all points once again:

Please concentrate on the questions that explain the creation of Rudra,
Indra, Agni and other devatAs from the purusha.

Hope this helps.
