The definition is in the verse provided by the devaswam; but it is not from any scriptures. As shown below after going deep the following versions feasible. But exactly what does it mean?

According to the philosophy, universal life force manifests as three different energies, or doshas, known as vata, pitta, and kapha. We’re all made up of a unique combination of these three forces. 6 Extend your left foot and bend your right hand to destroy the evils of Sri He placed his left hand on his knee and placed his other arm on his shoulder Then he held the Sankhachakra in front of the counter-army in two hands The god, endowed with ornaments and other things, is said to be the lord of the three servants, and Pathu is the full of the three 7 Patha (पथ) refers to a “traveler”, according to the Vedānta Deśika’s Yatirājasaptati.—When we come to the poem’s understanding of the divinity of Rāmānuja we find a wide spectrum of meanings. [...] Verse 28 is particularly eloquent in describing and encapsulating all his nurturing and protecting qualities, which are compared to those present everywhere in nature itself—as the mountain from which originate all the streams of knowledge, the tree under which the weary traveler wandering (patha) in saṃsāra takes rest, the rising sun that keeps the illusionary darkness of those with distorted views at bay and the full moon that brings to high tide the ocean of the Vedas. 8 Patha (पथ) refers to the “pathways” (in the spaces), according to the Amṛtasiddhi, a 12th-century text belonging to the Haṭhayoga textual tradition.—Accordingly, “The sphere of the sun is at the base of the Central Channel, complete with twelve digits, shining with its rays. The lord of creatures (Prajāpati), of intense appearance, travels upwards on the right. Staying in the pathways in the spaces (ākāśa-patha) in the channels it pervades the entire body. The sun consumes the lunar secretion, wanders in the sphere of the wind and burns up all the bodily constituents in all bodies”. 9 Padam Left foot paadam And Patham the road, the pathway. Both the words are used in the verse.
