In the word vi-raj-et, the 'rajas' can be interpreted as a rajasic desire or motivation of a person to perform nitya/naimittika karma to acquire/maintain worldly things like children, pleasures etc. Performing such karma is an essential part of Ashrama system. Whereas once a person has attained to viraj or detachment to these matters, no more does he desire these things, and instead he seeks after the Atman that is beyond all these, and consequently gets into Sannyasam, eventhough he has all the adhikaram and ability/(physical and mental) to perform the karmas associated with the Ashrama system. Hence this detachment can be seen to directly follow from the word virajet.
