Answer:
Ramanuja became a priest at the Varadharāja Perumal temple (Vishnu) at Kānchipuram, where he began to teach that moksha (liberation and release from samsara) is to be achieved not with metaphysical, nirguna Brahman but with the help of personal god and saguna Vishnu.

Tradition has it that when death was drawing close Bhagavad Ramanuja delivered a final sermon in which 74 precepts were given. They are as follows: —
1. The glories of preceptors and great devotees should be remembered before any other work is begun.
2. A part of the day should be set aside for praising and contemplating upon the glory of one's own preceptor.
3. A part of the day should also be set aside for reciting, studying and contemplating the works of Nammalvar and the other Alvars.
4. Service to one's own acharya and any other devotee (bhagavata) should be on a par.
5. One should serve every devotee (regardless of caste) as one would serve the personal acharya.
6. One should have faith and reverence for the teachings of all the previous Acharyas.
7. Having come in contact with an acharya due to one's previous good Karma one should not revert to mundane affairs.
8. Upon waking one should recall to mind the disciplic succession (guru-parampara).
9. When approaching the Lord in a temple or an assembly of Vaishnavas a prapanna should chant the dvaya mantra while prostrating to them (regardless of caste).
10. When a learned person is recounting the glories of the Lord, pay due respect and do not leave in the middle of the discourse.
11. One should avoid becoming engrossed in the persistent enjoyment of sensual pleasures.
12. One should not waste time in reading books about worldly things, unrelated to any knowledge about the Ultimate Truth.
