Re:  Separate Account VA-2LNY
     Registration on Form N-4   SEC File No. 333-104243

Dear Sir/Madam:

With regard to the above registration statement, I have examined such documents
and made such inquiries as I have deemed necessary and appropriate, and on the
basis of such examination, have the following opinions:

Fees and charges deducted under the Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage
Variable Annuity contracts are those deemed necessary to appropriately reflect:

(1)   the expenses incurred in the acquisition and distribution of the
      contracts,

(2)   the expenses associated with the development and servicing of the
      contracts,

(3)   the assumption of certain risks arising from the operation and management
      of the contracts and/or riders to the contract and that provides for a
      reasonable margin of profit.

Fees and charges assessed against the contract values in the variable account
include:

(i)   Service Charge and Administrative Charge

(ii)  Mortality and Expense Risk Fee (M&E)

(iii) Taxes (including premium and other taxes if applicable)

(iv)  Surrender Charges

(v)   Any applicable rider fees or charges

<PAGE>

The magnitude of each of the individual charges listed above in (i) through (v)
is established in the pricing of the Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage
Variable Annuity, to achieve a reasonable Return on Investment (ROI), which is
within the range of industry practice with respect to comparable variable
annuity products.

Except by coincidence, it is not expected that actual charges assessed in a
given year would exactly offset actual expenses incurred. Acquisition expenses
(as well as major product and/or systems development expenses) are incurred "up
front" and recovered, with a reasonable profit margin, through future years'
charges. In addition, the company cannot increase certain charges under the
contract in the pricing process.

Therefore, in my opinion, the fees and charges deducted under the contracts, in
the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses
expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the company.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion, which is included as an Exhibit to
the Registration Statement.
