Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

One time Nanjeeyar attempted to carry the palanquin in
which Bhattar was sitting.

Bhattar stopped him saying "This is inappropriate for
one who is a sanyasi".

Nanjeeyar replied "I took on sanyasam because I thought
it would allow me to perform uninterrupted service (free
of the duties of a grhasta). However if that makes it
impossible for me to do this service to you, then I will
remove this saffron dress and put on a white dress again".

That is, any dharma (including varanAshrama) which does 
not fit in with service to the acharya is to be given up.
