The devotees are divided into four classes, namely Sālokya, Sāmipya, Sārūpya, and Sāyujya (lines 3–4). The Sālokyas are those who specialize in devotion, knowledge and renunciation (vairāgya) (line 5). The Sāmipyas specialize in knowledge and renunciation (line 6). The Sārūpyas are distinguished as those who are devoted to the meditation of God (line 7). And the Sāyujyas are those who have acquired the true knowledge (of God) and are aware of the final beatitude (paramārtha) (line 8).
