There are four types of **Vaikriya** body-bond: **Vaikriya-Vaikriya** body-bond, **Vaikriya-Tejas** body-bond, **Vaikriya-Karman** body-bond, and **Vaikriya-Tejas-Karman** body-bond. Similarly, there are four types of **Aharaka** body-bond: **Aharaka-Aharaka** body-bond, **Aharaka-Tejas** body-bond, **Aharaka-Karman** body-bond, and **Aharaka-Tejas-Karman** body-bond.
There are two types of **Tejas** body-bond: **Tejas-Tejas** body-bond and **Tejas-Karman** body-bond. Finally, there is one type of **Karman** body-bond: **Karman-Karman** body-bond.
In total, there are fifteen types of **Sharirabandhana** (body-bond) **Namakarma** (karma that binds the body). These fifteen types are based on the different combinations of **Sanghabandha** (binding together).
The five types of **Sharirabandha** (body-bond) - **Audarika-Audarika**, **Vaikriya-Vaikriya**, **Aharaka-Aharaka**, **Tejas-Tejas**, and **Karman-Karman** - are inherent in the fifteen types. For example, **Audarika-Audarika** body-bond is a combination of two similar **Audarika** bodies. Therefore, the **Audarika** body-bond is inherent in the **Audarika** body-bond. Similarly, the other four types of **Sharirabandha** are also inherent in the fifteen types.
Therefore, subtracting five from fifteen, we are left with ten. When these ten are added to the ninety-three types of **Namakarma**, we get a total of one hundred and three types of **Namakarma**.
This is a quote from the **Tadpatra** (palm leaf manuscript) **Mula Go.K.** (original text):
"The body is bound by five types of **Sanghadana** (binding together): **Audarika**, **Vegujjiya**, **Aharaka**, **Tejas**, and **Karmaiya**. The body is bound by six types of **Sharirasanthanana** (body formation): **Samachaura** (square), **Santhanana** (formation), **Aggo** (head), **Udaparamandala** (upper circle)."
Here, the **Agam** (scripture) only mentions five types of bodies and their combinations, which results in fifteen types of body-bond. For example, the **Audarika** body **NoKarma** (non-karmic) **Skandha** (aggregate) binds with another **Audarika** body **NoKarma** **Skandha**, resulting in **Audarika-Audarika** body-bond. Similarly, the **Audarika** body **Pudgala** (particle) binds with the **Tejas** body **Pudgala** in a living being, resulting in **Audarika-Tejas** body-bond. The **Audarika** **Skandha** binds with the **Karman** **Skandha** in a living being, resulting in **Audarika-Karman** body-bond. This is the purpose of explaining these combinations of body-bond. (**Dhaval** 14/42 and **Dhaval** 13/31-33)
Therefore, there are fifteen types of body-bond. Consequently, there are fifteen types of **Sharirabandhana Namakarma** (karma that binds the body), which are the causes of these fifteen types of body-bond. The function of **Sharirabandhana Namakarma** is to bind the **Audarika** body **NoKarma** **Skandha** with another **Audarika** body **NoKarma** **Skandha** when it arises. Similarly, the **Sharirabandhana Namakarma** that binds the **Audarika** body **Pudgala** with the **Tejas** body **Pudgala** in a living being is called **Audarika-Tejas** body-bond **Namakarma**. The same applies to the remaining thirteen types. The **Go.K.** 27 describes the fifteen types of **Sharirabandhana Namakarma**.
