No there is only one kind of enlightenment.  However karma is like
motion.  If you are driving a car really fast and you suddenly hit the
brakes, it still continues moving for a bit because of its momentum.  In
the same way a Jnani has transcended the world of karma but the
consequences of his past actions will have some effect until they are used
up.  Hence the apparent diversity.
