Answers
Answer:
Vedantadeshika was born into a distinguished Shrivaishnava family that followed the teachings of Ramanuja, an 11th–12th-century saint. A precocious child, Vedantadeshika was said to have been taken at age five to meet the sect’s leader, Vatsya Varadacharya, who blessed him, saying he would in time be a great teacher and repudiate all false philosophers. Vedantadeshika married and had a family but lived on alms in order to devote himself fully to his philosophic and literary efforts. He was a prolific writer in both Sanskrit and Tamil; his more than 100 works include commentaries on Vaishnava scriptures; Nyaya-parishuddhi, a comprehensive work on Vishishtadvaita logic; Yadavabhyudaya, a poetic work on the life of the deity Krishna; Sankalpa-suryodaya, an allegorical drama; and devotional hymns.
According to Vedantadeshika’s interpretation of prapatti (surrender to the grace of God), some effort is required on the part of the worshiper to secure God’s grace, just as the baby monkey must hold to its mother (the markata-nyaya, or the “analogy of the monkey”). This view—together with ritual and linguistic differences—became the basis for the split between the two subsects, the Vadakalai and the Tenkalai, who held that God’s grace is unconditioned and that the human soul is as unassertive as a kitten carried by its mother.

Verónica II Guterres (died 1758) was the queen regnant of the Kingdom of Ndongo and Matamba from 1756 to 1758.
She was the daughter of queen Ana II Guterres and the sister of queen Ana III Guterres. She may have been the biological daughter of Juliana I Guterres, who may have reigned between the death of Afonso I in 1741 and the succession of Ana II in 1742, and adopted by her aunt Ana II as her daughter, but this is unconfirmed.[1] In any case, Verónica was referred to as the daughter of Ana II (which she would have been even if she was adopted), and she was the designated heir to the throne during fourteen year's reign.
In 1756, her mother died and she succeeded her as her designated heir and crown princess. She reigned for about two years. In 1758, Verónica II was deposed in a coup d'etat by her sister, who took the throne under the name of Ana III and had her executed by decapitation. In 1767, Ana III was herself deposed and executed by her nephew Francisco II Kalwete ka Mbandi who was possibly the son of Verónica II.
