The recluses are also of four kinds. The first are called Kuticaka, the second Bahüdaka, the third Harhsa and the fourth Paramaharhsa. Kuțicaka are the recluse who do meditation on Soul by surviving on alms from the houses of their sons etc. Bahüdaka are the recluse who meditate on the element of soul by putting the brown apparels, the nicker (Langoti), sacrificial thread, braid, a seat, the slippers, a vessel for water, a bag, Kamandala and a trident and surviving on alms from the houses of good Brahmaņas. The Hamsa are the recluse who hold a stick, a carry bag, the sacrificial thread and Kamandala. They do not grow the braid on their head and hold only a stick. They live for a night in a village and for five nights in city and pilgrim place. They do meditation on the element of soul by observing one or two nights in the fast namely Krechra-Cândrayaņa etc. Parama Hamsa are the recluse who doesn't hold the stick, clean their hair from the head and hold Kantha and Kaupīna. Their penis (linga) is unseen, and they always remain silent and stable. They behave like the intoxicants while they never use the intoxications. They abandon the trident, Kamandala, a carry bag for collecting alms, the holy pot of water, slipper, seat, braid and the sacrificial thread etc. They live in a barren house or the abode of god (Devalaya). The good or bad and the truth or false has no meaning for them. They bear with everything, they see equally to all the deem, do distinction between a stone, a lump of clay and the gold. They live on alms given by all four Varņas and always live in contentment. They make free the soul from the tie and do all measure to liberate the soul.
