Hence whoever has a siucere faith in an omniscient person even in a general fashion is accorded an identical treatment by the wise persons insofar as this faith of his is concerned.
यथैवैकस्य नृपतेर्बहवोऽपि समाश्रिताः । दूरासन्नादिभेदेऽपि तभृत्याः सर्व एवहि ॥१०७॥ सर्वज्ञतत्त्वाभेदेन तथा सर्वज्ञवादिनः ।। सर्वे तत्तत्त्वगा ज्ञेया भिन्नाचारस्थिता अपि ॥१०८॥

.. Just as the numerous dependents of a king are called bis servants even if they differ among themselves in several ways-e. g. •they stay at places that are more or less distant from the King's seat-, similarly all those who uphold the doctrine of omniscience should, in spite of their divergent conduct, be said to have realized the essential nature of omniscince and that because the essential nature of omniscience is ope (in all cases of omniscience).

The large-hearted persons should ponder over the fact that the great personages who are omniscient are pot mutually different in essence even if they differ in name etc.

This very idea also follows from the description - occurring in the authentic yoga-texts of devotion to the deities as classified into the variegated one and the non-variegated one..
