Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:
The subdivisions of internal (ⲹԳٲ) austerities (tapa) are mentioned next.
From the use of the term ‘respectively� these are taken as follows. Expiation�ⲹśٳٲ–is of nine kinds. Reverence�vinaya–is of four kinds. Service�屹ṛtٲⲹ–is of ten kinds. Study�ⲹ–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.
