In Varthamalai 350 says there are three types of Vaishnavas.
They are 1. Satkarayogya: this is the first stage, they praise themselves being a Srivaishnava and do not possess eligibility to stand equal to the next stage, they wear the Srivaishnava Tirunamam and pronounce the Tirumantram but are indifferent to its purport. they neither possess the necessary Srivaishnava attributes nor follow their way of life. most belong to this category.
2. Sahavasa Yogya these Srivaishnavas possess or have association with people, have Vedanthic knowledge and its practicality. they are even stamped by the acharya and hence are greater than the first type.
3. Sadhanubhava yogya thses Srivaishnavas always think of experiencing Bhagavat attributes and the usage of all bodily parts for the sake of serving the Lord.
These are by Nanjeeyar.
