Dear friends/members,

A bhAgavatA friend of mine has asked me a question which I am unable
to answer adequately. If anyone knowledgeable amongst you can help
adiyane will be grateful.

Where did Swami Desikan breathe his last? Was it in SriRangam or
Kanchi? Or elsewhere? Is there a 'samAdhi' at the spot where the
'AchArya' shed mortal coils (similar to the spot in SriRangam where
they say that RamanujAchArya spent his last moments on earth)? 

Like Ramanuja did in his final moments, did Swami Desikan also
deliver a final sermon to his son or disciples? Is there any record
of such a final sermon? Is there any record in the 'guru-paramparai'
texts, or is there any personal account of NainachArya (or of any
other relative/disciple) giving details of Swami Desikan's last
moments?

Who performed Swami Desikan's last rites and where?

Adiyane knows DoddAchArya svAmi of Sholinghur wrote a biography of
Swami Desikan but I am not able to recall if there is any mention
there of the above matters. I wonder if there is any other
biograhical source giving factual answers for the above questions. If
learned scholars in the list know about it, please do shed some
light.

Thanks and regards,
dAsan,
Sudarshan
