Elaboration In aphorism 52 of Place Number One it is mentioned that 151 Siddha is one. In the preceding aphorisms fifteen kinds of Siddhas have
been mentioned. These statements are not contradictory. This is because in context of supreme spiritual perfection there is no qualititive division
among Siddhas, thus all Siddhas fall in one category only. However, as 45 human beings prior to attaining the status of Siddha there are variations
in social and individual conditions and states. Based on these there are said to be fifteen categories as follows
(1) Tirth Siddha-Those who become Siddha after the establishment of the religious organisation (Dharma-tirth) are called Tirth Siddha; for example Bhagavan Rishabhadeva's chief disciple Rishabhasen.
(2) Atirth Siddha-Those who become Siddha before th establishment of the religious organisation are called Atirth Siddha; for example Bhagavan Rishabhadeva's mother Vamadevi.
(3) Tirthankar Siddha-Those who become Siddha after attain the status of Tirthankar are called Tirthankar Siddha; for example Bhagavan Rishabhadeva.
(4) Atirthankar Siddha—Those who become Siddha as normal $ kevalis; for example Gautam Ganadhar.
(5) Svayam-buddha Siddha-Those who become Siddha after getting enlightened through their own efforts are called Svayam-buddha Siddha; for example Bhagavan Mahavir.
(6) Pratyek-buddha Siddha-Those who get enlightened after getting inspired by some outside factor are called Pratyek-buddha Siddha; for example Nami Rajarishi.
(7) Buddha-bodhit Siddha-Those who get enlightened with the help of a discourse of an acharya or other accomplished ascetic and i consequently become Siddha are called Buddha-bodhit Siddha; for 41 example Jambu Swami.
(8) Streeling Siddha-When a soul in a female body becomes Siddha $ it is called Streeling Siddha; for example mother Marudevi and Mrigavati.
(9) Purushling Siddha-When a soul in a male body becomes Siddha it is called Purushling Siddha; for example Emperor Bharat. 4 (10) Napunsakling Siddha—When a soul in a genderless body
becomes Siddha it is called Napunsakling Siddha; for example Gangeya.
