Ჹٰܳī-īṣ� referst to īṣ� where the process involves Ծⲹ performed according to the rules. Ჹٰܳī-īṣ� is further classified into jñānavatī-īṣ�, where the Ծⲹ is performed internally and kriyāvatī-īṣ�, where the rituals are performed externally. 屹ī-īṣ� is once again classified into sabīja-īṣ�, with īᲹԳٰ and nirbīja-īṣ�, without īᲹԳٰ. īᲹ-īṣ� should definitely be performed for Sādhaka and Ācārya. It is of two types�lokadharminī-īṣ� and śivadharminī-īṣ�.
That which is performed for Samayī and Putraka initiates is called lokadharminī-īṣ�. ǰ첹ī-īṣ� is of two types�niradhikāra-īṣ� and sādhikāra-īṣ�. Niradhikāra-īṣ� bestows only the right to perform nityakarma (Ծٲⲹū) on the Samayī and Putraka. Sādhikāra-īṣ� bestows the right to perform all including nitya, naimittika and 峾ⲹ.

That ǰ첹ṇ�-īṣ� is known to exclude the obligation to propitiate mantras [by means of ܰ etc.]. However, when the current body breaks, [the candidate] experiences [the series of eight supernatural natural powers] starting with becoming very small. Having experienced [these] enjoyments he moves upwards to whichever [cosmic level] the Guru has joined him [by ᲹԾ]. Whether this is at the sakala or Ծṣk level [of Śiva] depends on [the preference of] the candidate and Guru�.
