 | | There are four lines of disciplic succession: one from Lord Brahma, one from Lord Siva, one from Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune, and one from the Kumaras. |
 | | The disciplic succession from Lord Brahma is called the Brahma-sampradaya, the succession from Lord Siva (Sambhu) is called the Rudra-sampradaya, the one from the goddess of fortune, Lakshmiji, is called the Sri-sampradaya, and the one from the Kumaras is called the Kumara-sampradaya. |
