There are three grades of snake charmers: vādi, fulvādi and gārdi. Of these, a vādi captures meek snakes; a fulvādi captures those which are easy to catch, otherwise uses a cloth tie to kill them; and before a gārdi all types of snakes, even cobras, dance. Maharaj is like a gārdi and before him jivas, ishwars, Purush and Akshar, etc., all stand with folded hands.
