As a further comment, I wanted to mention that both Type 1 uttama-adhikari

and Type 2 uttama-adhikari are referred to by Srila Prabhupada as

"uttama-adhikari". Here are three instances for each:

 

Type 1 uttama-adhikari: NOI 5 purport, Madhya 15.106 purport, Madhya 16.74

purport

 

Type 2 uttama-adhikari: As "uttama-adhikari": Isopanisad 6 purport, NOD Ch

17 para 1, TLK Ch 15
