Kaya-vyuha - direct expansions. All the four types types of Srimati Radhika’s sakhis are nitya-siddha, and they are direct expansions (kaya-vyuha) of Srimati Radhika’s own svarupa.

She eternally manifests eight bhavas as the eight principle sakhis and Her four different types of service moods as the four different types of sakhis - namely, priya-sakhis, narma-sakhis, prana-sakhis, and parama-prestha sakhis. All these sakhis are kaya-vyuha direct expansions, whereas the sadhana-siddha gopis are not expansions.

The queens in Dvaraka fall into a different category of expansion known as vaibhava-prakasa, and the Laksmis in Vaikuntha are vaibhava-vilasa expansions of Srimati Radharani. The wives of Vamana and other avataras in Devaloka are also expansions. Durga-devi in this world is a material expansion.

Sadhya, susiddha, siddha and ari - These are four kinds of dosa (faults) calculated according to jyotisa-sastra concerning the nature of a sisya in accordance with his purva-karma. Some of them appear to be good qualities, but from the absolute perspective, anyone who takes a material birth has fault.

In this context sadhya indicates that the candidate has the adhikara to attain  prema-bhakti if he endeavors fully in this life. Susiddha has the adhikara to attain perfection with very little endeavor and siddha has somewhat less  adhikara than him. Ari indicates that the sisya has so many ari (inauspicious planets) in his chart that almost any endeavor he makes for bhaktiwill simply create further hindrances. However, when these four kinds of sisyas accept krsna-mantra from sad-guru all of their hindrances can be removed.
