Bhavanayoga : It is continuously and progressively repeating the first Adhyatma Yoga. This produces refrainment from inauspicious performances, inclination for auspicious ones and increment in noble mental states :
"अभ्यासोऽस्यैव विज्ञेयः प्रत्यहं वृद्धिसंगतः । मनःसमाधिसंयुक्तः पौनः पुन्येन भावना ।।360 ।।" “निवृत्तिरशुभान्यासाच्छुभान्यासानुकूलता। तथा सुचित्रवुद्धिश्च भावनायाः फलं मतम् । 1361 ||"
Dhyan Yoga : In this state mind is unwavering like undistrubed flame of lamp, contemplating only auspicious and having subtle penetrative thinking. This endows capacity to win others, steadiness in one's all interactions and detachment from mundane shackles :
“शुभैमालम्बनं चितं ध्यानमाहुर्मनीषिणः । स्थिरप्रदीपसदृशं सूक्ष्माभोगसमान्वितम् ।।362 ||" "वशिता चैव सर्वत्र भावस्तमित्यमेव च। अनुबन्धव्यवच्छेद उदोऽस्येति तद्विदः ||363 ||"
Samata Yoga : In this state one does not harbour feelings of intense like or dislike which are because of mechanizing of nescience (ignorance). One develops right comprehension, sense of equality in relation to likes and dislikes. Yogi does not utilize his supra-sensuous capacities, destroys his subtle karmic bondage and breaks the threads of expectations :
"अविद्याकाल्पितेषुच्चैरिष्टानिष्टेषु वस्तुषु । संज्ञानात् तद्व्युवासेन समता समतोच्यते ।।364 ।।" "ऋद्धचयप्रवर्तनं चैव सूक्ष्मकर्मक्षयस्तथा। अपेक्षातन्तुविच्छेदः फलमस्याः प्रचक्षते ।।365 ।।"
Viritisamksaya Yoga : In this state there is cessation of wavering of mind which is because of interactions with others and yogi is absorbed in intense contemplation. This leads to acquisition of ommiscience and
aile z state which is the state characterized by cessation of all mental, vocal or bodily operations and attains the ultimate 'Moksha' (Salvation)
"अन्यसंयोगवृत्तीनां यो निरोधस्तथा तथा। अयुनभविरूपेण स तु तत्संक्षयो मतः । 1366 ||" "अतोऽपि केवलज्ञानं शैलेशीसंपरिग्रहः । मोक्षप्राप्तिरनाबाधा सदानन्द विद्यायिनी ।।367 ||"
