Is there a hierarchy in muktatmas?

Swamy, adiyen heard that in our thennacharya sampradayam, Grades of bliss in moksha exist.

I’ve heard that Some variation exists, but it is neither quantitative nor qualitative. The variation or difference arises in virtue of different duties assigned to different Muktas.

If this is true, isn’t there a hierarchy in muktatmas ?( i.e. those who achieved vaikuntam by prapatti vs other means )

As per vadakalai sampradayam there are no grades of bliss whatsoever in motcham.

As per thenkalai sampradayam there exists some variation.

Swamy, is there any shastra pramanam for this ? Did bhagavan favour prappanas than others ? Isn’t Bhagavan impartial?

adiyen believe Dr Venkatesh must have mentioned this with some pramanam. Since, the difference is based on ‘kalai’, it is possible that it would be based on purvacharyars work. This is one of the difference in philosophy between the ‘kalai’.

[As an information :: adiyen enquired about “determination of type of mukti” in this forum. Velukkudi swamy replied that “No discrimination. Everyone would enjoy all glories”

Ref ::https://www.kinchit.org/dharma-sandeha/thread/determination-of-type-of-mukti/

His statement indicates about enjoying glories. Your query is about variation in  different duties assigned to different Muktas.]

I only hope and believe Perumal will not be impartial with the inhabitanats of Vaikuntam. Probably, He assigns certain work to some selected Nityasuris / Mukthatmas ?. This could be the reason for mentioning variation in different duties assigned.
