padhinettu nAdan

 

 

 

It was seen earlier that the Lord makes shelter and food for the soul on its

final path, after having shown the " archirAdhi " for the departed souls.

 

The Lord being rAmA and krishNA had in fact actually shown the way to several

souls. sri azahgia maNavALap perumAL nAyanAr lists out these into 18 categories

and in fact terms the Lord as " padhinettu nAdan "
