160 The seven śuddha types are brāhma, ārṣa, māhendra, yāmya, kaubera, vāruṇa, and gāndharva; the six rājasa types are āsura, rākṣasa, paiśāca, nāga, pautra, and śākuna; the three tāmasa types are pāśava, mātsya, and vānaspatya. This classification is the same as that found in Nakula’s *Aśvaśāstra*, but the descriptions are more elaborate. Compare the human sattva typology (Ca.Śā.4.37–39).
