Of them, Samygdrashti are at the level of right perception, Shrāvak at lay level observing partial restraints, Viraī at level of fully restrained, Anantānubandhīviyojak at the level where one is capable to destroy the infinitely binding defilement, Darshanmohkshapak at the level where one can destroy the deluding perception, Upashamak at the level where one is calming down remaining delusion, Upashāntmoh at the level where one has calmed it down, Kshapak at the level where one is destroying all types of delusion; Kshinmoh at the level where one has destroyed delusion and Jin at the level of omniscience.
