1) Did Sri Ramanujacharya reach Nirvikalpa samadhi or sshaja Nirvikalpa samadhi or Dharmamegha samadhi.
2) And did Sri Ramanujacharya leave his body on his own will/wish.
3) Did Sri Ramanujacharya consider Puranas real and authoritative and authentic or mere allegorical and symbolic stories.
4) Lastly did Sri Ramanujacharya consider Atharva Veda as a later addition to the the three Vedas or did he consider it as authoritative as other Vedas. Pls enlighten me

May I know the source where it is mentioned that He attained Samyapatti Moksha.  

Had Shri Ramanuja considered Puranas as authentic – he could not establish that Shriman Narayana is the Paramatma.  Because, Saivite Purnaas declare that Lord Mahadeva is the Paramatma and other Gods are Devatas only; Sakta Puranas declare that Devi is the Paramatma and other Gods are Devatas only; Skanda Purna declares that Lord Karthikeya is the Paramtman.  All these Puranas were edited and compiled by Sage Vyasa, who is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Apart from this, we don’t know the 100% genuineness of the Puranas presently at our hands.

Regarding number of vedas, though we follow that there are four vedas, in many places in puranas, itihasass etc., most of the times, names of only three vedas are mentioned – name of the Atharva is left out.  This is a grey area because of which always doubt arises.
