Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:
The subdivisions of internal (ābhyantara) austerities (tapa) are mentioned next.
From the use of the term ‘respectively’ these are taken as follows. Expiation–prāyaścitta–is of nine kinds. Reverence–vinaya–is of four kinds. Service–vaiyāvṛttya–is of ten kinds. Study–svādhyāya–is of five kinds. Renunciation–vyutsarga–is of two kinds. Meditation is excluded here as there is plenty to be said about it. Hence it will be described later.
