DEar sri TCA Srinivasa Ramanujam swami, 
It is a pity that no sooner the ink in my pen( in this case the stress on the 
keyboard)has dried the discussion on this subject has cropped up.
It appears that from prima-facie reading of your post, that I may have to 
concur only with the following.

There has been a lively discussion on Devatantara
bhajana[Devata-God; Antara-Different; Bhajana-worship.
Eponymous words to Devantara are Bhashantara-Other
languages; Desantara-Other countries; Namantara-Other
names; Kalantara-Other times; Vishyantaras-Other
interests etc.]. 


I hasten to add that before i react, I require the following 
clarifications/whether my understanding of your post is correct.
My understanding is as follows.
i. AzhwAr's have tacitly approved dhevatantara bhajana whereas pUrvAchAryas 
have toed an orthodox line 
ii. pUrvachAryas have toed the orthodox line -which are inferred from some 
interpretations which may give room for multiple interpretations-due to time 
difference between Azhwar-sand AchAryas
iii.God is omnipresent and hence other deities can be worshipped. After all 
this also tantamounts to nArAyanA worship?
iv.piLLai perumAL iyengar is a vEra vaishNavite.

Is my understanding correct. On your response I shall react.
