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_{k l})_{1 l e k l e l l e g}

on it. In this second part, we study these objects from a complex analytic viewpoint. We construct a holomorphic map

v a r p h i_{g} : m a t h b f H_{g} o B_{g} (m a t h b f C)

, where

m a t h b f H_{g}

denotes the Siegel upper half-space of genus

g

, satisfying the system of differential equations

f r a c 1 2 p i i f r a c p a r t i a l v a r p h i_{g} p a r t i a l a u_{k l} = v_{k l} c i r c v a r p h i_{g}

,

1 l e k l e l l e g

. When

g = 1

, we prove that

v a r p h 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

v a r p h 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} (m a t h b f C)

induced by the vector fields

v_{k l}

is Zariski-dense in

B_{g, m a t h b f C}

. This last result implies a "functional version" of Grothendieck's periods conjecture for abelian varieties.
