Few doubts Will the prapatti fructify if a prapanna has an association with demi-gods until the last breath? If a prappanna surrenders to Emperuman during the last stage by dissociating from demi-gods, will Emperuman accept and grant moksham even when prayachista prapatti is not performed? Or will Perumal make the prappanna undergo the relevant punishment and then grant moksham? How many times can one do atonement prapatti (Prayaschitta prapatti)? Should it be done only once like prapatti? Does it contain the Dwaya mantra?

Swami Desikan says it is doubtful for the prapatti to bear fruits if one has an association with demi-gods until the last breath.
Nammazhwar states if a prappanan surrenders to Emperuman at the final stage by disassociating with demi-gods, without a doubt Emperuman certainly accepts the prapatti and grants salvation. (‘’mALumOr iDatilum vaNakoDu mALvadu vaLamE’’)
It is not wrong to do prayaschita prapatti immediately after realizing one’s offense; if another offence is committed, one can do another prayashcitta prapatti; but it is important that one should not repeatedly commit the offense and must refrain from committing sins. Elders perform prayaschita prapatti for everything only once invoking the Dwaya mantra.
