This really is a very interesting question, and I hope that it will generate some interesting discussion on the subtle nuances of prapatti as illustrated in Srimad Ramayanam. I do know of one popularly held belief among SriVaishnavas in Andhra, but am not sure whether it has been confirmed by our AchAryans. This belief holds that since he sent his daughter Trijata to care for Sita Piratti in the ashOka vanam, Vibheeshanar indirectly performed kainkaryam to Her first before performing prapatti to Perumal. I look forward to further discussion on this very interesting topic. dAsan, Mohan
