SrimathE Ramanujaya Namaha:

Dear group

Some time back, I had posted a request information on Sri TirukkOnEri
Dasyai's commentary on Tiruvaimozhi. 

ThirukkOnEri Dasyai was a lady sishya of  Sri Nanjeeyar/Sri Nampillai.
I saw the reference to her commentary form the first time in Sri B.S.S
Iyengar's english translation on Tiruvaimozhi. 

Smt Vasudha Narayanan, recently has published a chapter on TirukkOnEri 
Dasyai's work (chapter 6). Following is the link for the book.
