The wearing of the PaadhukhAs even once on one's head with devotion will result in being led to Sri Vaikuntam by the AadhivAhikAs through the archirAdhi margam at the end of one's life on this earth. Since the AadhivAhikAs take over, Dharma RaajA (Yama Devan )is unable to intervene to order the soul to undergo the punishment associated with the sins committed by the soul during its earthly existence . The PaadhukhAs though their sanctifying touch destroy all the sins of its devotee and puts Dharma RajA and his staff out of their anticipated business . (2)Sri Andavan's anubhavam : Oh Paadhukhais of Lord SaarangapANi! When a bhakthan places You on his head even once , he is taken at the time of his death by Your servants, the Nithya Sooris, to Your Lord's Parama Padham .Dharma Raajan and his servants tremble and they do not even come near the blessed soul . (3)AadhivAhikAs are different dEvAs assigned to lead a liberated soul (Muktha Jeevan )to the abode of the Lord ( Sri Vaikuntam ) through a designated divine route decribed by Brahma SoothrAs (chapter 4.3.1-6), , ChandhOgya , BrahadAranya and KaushitikI Upanishads.Swami NammAzhwAr describes this joyous journey along the path of light (archirAdhi margam )to parama Padham led by AadhivAhikAs in his ThiruvAimozhi Paasurams (10.9)..
