Mine is yet another voice in the chorus.

This is where I have an issue with. I posed the question on this forum
previously but there were no takers. Let me try again.
Even if you can get 108 pRchchakulu, the avadhaani is not going to take all
the questions and keep in his memory and simultaneously work on them.
I have seen Sree Sarma perform the sahasraavadhaanam in Hyderabad
this Jan (or Feb ?) continuously for 21 days. The pRchchakulu were
asking the questions one after another. The avadhaani proceeded to the
next one only after finishing the one on hand. (He had very few in
pending). So isn't this effectively Ekaavadhanam or utmost
ashTaavadhaanam embedded in a grand 108/1116 avadhaanam ?
