In the attached note that I sent out two days back, highly
recommending a book on SrI bhAshyam, I had mentioned that SrI Putur
svAmi had done an excellent 'translation' of the samskRt work by SrI
KozhiyAlam Srinivasacharya svAmi. Actually SrI Puttur svAmi has done
an excellent 'elaboration' (tamizh vivaraNam) based on SrI Kozhiyalam
svAmi's samskRt work. He has actually added the pramANa-s from the
upanishads, with proper references, etc., and explained SrI
Kozhiyalam svAmi's work in the form of samskRt Sloka-s (somewhat like
adhikaraNa sArAvaLi). All the other statements I made (that the
tamizh work is excellent and very readable etc.) are still true, but
I had unintentionally omitted to note that SrI Puttur svAmi's
contribution is more than mere translation. Sorry for the error on
my part. The book is an excellent work as noted in my earlier mail.

I have come across an excellent book on SrI bhAshyam, and wanted to
share the information with others who might benefit from this book.
The book is titled "SArIrakArikAvaLi", and is published by Puttur SrI
Krishnaswamy Iyengar svAmi. The original text is in samskRt, and is
by SrI Kozhialam Srinivasachariar svAmi. The book includes the
tamizh translation by SrI Puttur svAmi. The tamizh translation is in
simple, readable tamizh. While I am not qualified to claim that I
have the knowledge to understand SrI bhAshyam, I honestly believe
that the material is written in very-easy-to understand language, and
I strongly recommend the book to those who would like to get a high
level introduction to bhagavad rAmAnuja's exposition of the brahma
sUtra-s. Some exposure to the upanishads will be an advantage while
reading the book. I hopr the book is still in print and available
from SrI Puttur svAmi.
