These are the 鈥榮ix systems鈥� (峁岣峣诲补谤艣补苍补), which arranged in a series of progressively upward unions (uparyupariyoga), culminate in the experience corresponding to the basic state of the following principles:

Accordingly, the Buddhists, Jains, Vedikas (产丑补峁弓补), Sauras, Vai峁ａ箛avas and 艢aivas constitute a group of six 鈥�诲补谤艣补苍补蝉鈥� (峁岣峝补谤艣补苍补), recalling the standard set of six philosophical systems (峁岣峝补谤艣补苍补). In this context, it is quite clear that the religion of the Buddhists and the rest is meant, rather than the philosophy or the theology of the corresponding theistic religious traditions.
