Raudra-dhyâna is of four kinds : (1) that which arises from a delight in harming others, (2) that which arises from a delight in speaking a falsehood, (3) that which arises from a delight in theft and (4) that which arises from a delight in hoarding up and preserving things."
Dharma-dhyâna arises when one controls his mind and desists from the enjoyment of worldly objects.
A person who being possessed of knowledge and indifferent to worldly objects is desirous of obtaining liberation, and being active to attain that end fixes his attention with an unruffled mind (is successful in having Dharma-dhyana and) is praised by all.'

[शानार्णवः । २५ ॥२४] 2 " रुद्राशयभवं भीममपि रौद्रं चतुर्विधम् । कीर्यमानं विदान्त्वार्याः सर्वसत्वाभयप्रदाः॥ रुद्रः क्रूराशयः प्राणी प्रणीतस्तत्वदर्शिभिः । रुद्रस्य कर्मभावो वा रौद्रमित्यभिधीयते ॥ हिंसानन्दान् मृषानन्दाच्चौर्यात् संरक्षणात्तथा। प्रभवत्यङ्गिनां शश्वदपि राद्रं चतुर्विधम् ॥
[ज्ञानार्णवः । २६ ॥१-३] " अथ प्रशममालम्ब्य विधाय स्वबशं मनः। विरज्य कामभागेषु धर्मध्यानं निरूपय ॥ ज्ञानवैराग्यसम्पन्नः संवृतात्मा स्थिराशयः । मुमुक्षुरुद्यमी शान्तो धाता धीरः प्रशस्यते ॥"
[शानार्णवः । २७ ॥१-३]
