Aparādha is of four kinds, as mentioned in the Āmnāya-sūtra-vyākhyā:
कृष्ण-नाम-स्वरूपेषु तदीय-चित्-कणेषु च
ज्ञेया बुध-गणैर् नित्यम् अपराधाश् चतुर्-विधाःkṛṣṇa-nāma-svarūpeṣu tadīya-cit-kaṇeṣu ca
jñeyā budha-gaṇair nityam aparādhāś catur-vidhāḥThe four kinds of aparādha are as follows: (1) offences to Kṛṣṇa’s name (nāma-aparādha ), (2) offences to Kṛṣṇa’s deity form (sevāaparādha ), (3) offences to that which belongs to Kṛṣṇa, or in other words, to Girirāja-Govardhana, the Gaṅgā, the Yamunā, the dhāma or the lotus feet of the devotees, and (4) offences to other living entities, who are all infinitesimal particles of spirit belonging to Kṛṣṇa.
