Three other classifications of clairvoyance (avadhijñāna) due to destruction-cum-subsidence (kṣayopaśama) - kṣayopasamanimittaka
have been mentioned: deśavadhi, paramavadhi and sarvavadhi. The first kind-deśāvadhi - is obtained by animals and human beings. However, it is possible for the human beings to obtain paramāvadhi and sarvavadhi clairvoyance (avadhijñāna) in their state of spiritual discipline (samyama). In the fourth and the fifth guṇasthāna, deśavadhi clairvoyance is possible. In higher guṇasthāna, all three kinds of clairvoyance are possible. Clairvoyance based on the state of existence bhavapratyaya avadhijñāna is of the nature of deśavadhi.

ऋजुविपुलमती मन:पर्ययः ॥२३॥
[ मन:पर्ययः ] मन:पर्ययज्ञान [ ऋजुमति विपुलमति: ] ऋजुमति और विपुलमति दो प्रकार का है।
The two kinds of telepathy (manaḥparyayajñāna) are rjumati and vipulamati.
