Sätra 8-10 s
Deity, Preceptor and Righteousness
157
The next classification is made with reference to the three stages of learning and practice of righteousness. The three stages are : study, rational appreciation and realization of the truth through concentration. These three stages are known in Buddhism and Pātañjala Yoga as śrutamayı, cintāmayi and bhāvanāmayi prajña. The Dext süfra (aph. VIII) introduces righteousness in this perspective.

svadbītam-svādhyāyātmako dharmaḥ. sudhyātam-dhyānātmako dharmaḥ. sutapasyitam-tapasyātmako dharmaḥ.
(Aph.) The well-learnt, the well-concentrated and the well-practised through penance (are the three types of righteousness). (VIII)
