Dear Sri Dinakaran : The best person to answer your
question would be Dr. S.M.S.Chary , who is visiting
this country now/. Sri Krishna Kalale
of our group is close to him and can ask him 
for his comments and post it . Dr.S.M.S.Chary 
has completed recently a  comparitive study 
of the commentaries of the Brahma SutrAs of 
the three AchAryAs ( Sankara , MadhvA and RamAnujA ).
His comments as  a deep scholar of Sri Vaishnavism and 
other Darsanams would be of help to us all , although 
number of members may be able to provide inputs. 

Many of the Thiruvaimozhi paasurams in my opinion 
just address the point raised by your friend.
Instead of going into it now, I would rather wait
for Dr.Cahry to give us the benefit of his scholarship .
