Thus, sālokya corresponds to carya, ritual and moral conduct, sāmīpya to kriyā, architectural and iconographic making, sārūpya to yoga, meditation, and sāyūjya ta jñāna, theology and gnosis.
Yogapāda (योगपाद) refers to one of the four divisions of the Śaivāgamas, one of the three classes of āgamas (traditionally communicated wisdom).—The yogapāda deals with the purification of nāḍis, the eight accessories of yogic path and movement of soul and also the details of six cakras.
