Abstract: In the first part of this work, we have considered a moduli space $B_g$ classifying principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g$ endowed with a symplectic-Hodge basis, and we have constructed the higher Ramanujan vector fields $(v_{kl}{)}_{1leklelleg}$ on it. In this second part, we study these objects from a complex analytic viewpoint. We construct a holomorphic map $varph{i}_g:mathbf{H}_{g}o{B}_g(mathbfC)$, where $mathbf{H}_g$ denotes the Siegel upper half-space of genus $g$, satisfying the system of differential equations $frac12piifracpartialvarph{i}_{g}partiala{u}_{kl}=v_{kl}circvarph{i}_g$, $1leklelleg$. When $g=1$, we prove that $varph{i}_1$ may be identified with the triple of Eisenstein series $(E_2,E_4,E_6)$, so that the previous differential equations coincide with Ramanujan's classical relations concerning Eisenstein series. We discuss the relation between the values of $varph{i}_g$ and the fields of periods of abelian varieties, and we explain how this relates to Grothendieck's periods conjecture. Finally, we prove that every leaf of the holomorphic foliation on $B_g(mathbfC)$ induced by the vector fields $v_{kl}$ is Zariski-dense in $B_{g,mathbfC}$. This last result implies a "functional version" of Grothendieck's periods conjecture for abelian varieties.
