[INDOLOGY] nAdevo devam arcayet

[Nagaraj Paturi]

nArudrO rudramarchayEt is usually quoted by the performers of mahanyAsa
pUrvaka rudrAbhishEka ritual as an explanation for the anganyaasa
karanyaasa portions of the ritual in which the performer does aavaahana
(the supernatural process of bringing and filling the spirit into one's own
self)  of rudra onto himself.

Similar anganyaasa karanyaasa portions form the early part of archanaa of
many other dEvas. nAdevo devam arcayet is probably an extension of the
statement nArudrO rudramarchayEt to the rituals other than rudrAbhiShEka.
