"Monks, there are these four persons existing and found in the world.
Which four?
The unshakeable ascetic, the white lotus ascetic, the lotus ascetic, the delicate ascetic among ascetics.
"And how, monks, is a person an unshakeable ascetic? Here, monks, a monk is a learner who has not attained his goal, dwelling aspiring for the unsurpassed freedom from bondage. Thus, monks, a person is an unshakeable ascetic.
"And how, monks, is a person a white lotus ascetic? Here, monks, a monk dwells observing the rise and fall in the five aggregates of clinging - 'Such is matter, such is the origin of matter, such is the passing away of matter; such is feeling... etc. such is perception... etc. such are activities... etc. such is consciousness, such is the origin of consciousness, such is the passing away of consciousness.' but he does not dwell having touched the eight deliverances with the body. Thus, monks, a person is a white lotus ascetic.

"And how, monks, is a person a delicate ascetic among ascetics? Here, monks, a monk mostly uses robes that are requested, little that is unrequested, etc. It is of me indeed, monks, that one speaking rightly would say 'the delicate ascetic among ascetics'. These, monks, are the four persons existing and found in the world." The tenth.
