One day Bhattar was worshipping the Lord by doing fan service to Him in a mandapam. As it was getting to be sunset time, his disciples reminded him that the time for sandhyavandanam was slipping.

Bhattar replied "For those who are in His service, sins for missing sandhyavandanam and other rituals do not apply".

That is, for Srivaishnavas, doing the daily rituals and karmas while missing His service is not in their nature.
