4 and 5 Another variety of the same, viz. the Saint
who, abiding on the Path of Concentrated Contemplation
has removed the defiling forces up to the 4th variety. 2
Owing to this he secures a succession of births in a godly
or human form, passing over from one (godly or human)
race to another. (In correspondence with th:s godly or
human character), this Saint is considered to be of 2 kinds.

by faith, and the other who acts on the foundation of the
perception of the Truth. (Among the 20 kinds of Saints)
he is counted as of one variety only.—
