Swamy,
Namaskaram.
AdhivAhikas guide the atma upto viraja river and amAnavan guides atma further after taking dip in viraja river. I understand that amAnavan can be either nityasoory or mukthatma, since amAnavan serves in Nitya vibhudhi. Since AdhivAhikas role is in leela vibhudhi, they could be baddhathma.
Request to clarify.
Are their roles limited only to guide?.
Where does AdhivAhikas live?.
