Elaboration-This aphorism gives four categories of shravaks (Jain laymen) based on their nature using suitable metaphors.
Ashramanopasak having mirror-like clear mind understands and accepts the true meaning of the scriptural knowledge preached by ascetics.
A shramanopasak having unstable and wavering mind like a flag flows with varying views in discourses. He is incapable of being firm on a real fundamental.
Ashramanopasak who is arrogant and rigid like a dry stump of a tree never abandons his dogma in spite of all efforts of explaining him the truth. Like a peg he remains stuck to just one facet.
A shramanopasak who is extremely arrogant and dogmatic is like a sharp thorn. If some saintly person tries to show him the right path he si retaliates with thorn-like stinging words.
Thus there are four categories of shramanopasak based on purity, 5 fickleness, rigidity and perversion of mind.

४३२. सौधर्म कल्प में अरुणाभ विमान में उत्पन्न हुए श्रमण भगवान महावीर के श्रमणोपासकों की स्थिति चार पल्योपम की कही गई है।
432. The life span of the shramanopasak followers of Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir born in the Arunabh vimaan (celestial vehicle) in Saudharma Kalp is four Palyopam. देवागमन-बाधक-साधक कारण-पद DEVAGAMAN-BAADHAK-SAADHAK KARAN-PAD (SEGMENT OF REASONS FOR COMING AND NOT COMING OF GODS) ___४३३. चउहिं ठाणेहिं अहुओववण्णे देवे देवलोगेसु इच्छेज्ज माणुसं लोगं हव्वमागच्छित्तए, णो चेव णं संचाएति हब्बमागच्छित्तए, तं जहा
