Although he was married but he decided to become sanyasi under Yatiraj.
He took guru mantra from sage Nambi(Om Namo Narayanaya). His guru urged him to keep this mantra secret but Ramanuj publicly declared this mantra. On facing his guru's ire and curse,
He was made to take the seat of Allavandar by his followers. His enemies tried to poison him but was alerted by a lady.

The King of Shrirang was a staunch shaiva. He called Ramanuj to his court with an ulterior motive.
