First Karmapranya
Multiplying the twelve categories of Bahu etc. with the twenty-four categories of Vyavaharanavagraha, we get 288 categories. Except for the Vyavaharanavagraha of the eye and mind, the remaining four senses, namely touch, taste, smell, and hearing, generate Vyavaharanavagraha. Multiplying these four types of Vyavaharanavagraha with the twelve categories of Bahu etc., we get 48 categories. Thus, combining the 288 categories of Arthaavagraha etc. and the 48 categories of Vyavaharanavagraha, we get a total of 336 categories of Matigyan.
The reason for having forty-eight categories of Vyavaharanavagraha is that, except for the eye and mind, the remaining four senses - touch, taste, smell, and hearing - generate Vyavaharanavagraha. However, the sequential knowledge of Iha, Aavaaya, and Dharana does not occur. Therefore, multiplying the Vyavaharanavagraha generated by the four senses of touch etc. with the twelve categories of Bahu etc., we get only forty-eight categories.
The aforementioned 336 categories of Matigyan are Shruta-nishrit Matigyan. Adding the four categories of Ashruta-nishrit Matigyan - (1) Autpattiki Buddhi, (2) Vainayiki Buddhi, (3) Karmaja Buddhi, and (4) Parinaamiki Buddhi - to these, we get a total of 340 categories of Matigyan.
The nature of these four Buddhis should be understood as follows:
1. (a) "Asooyanispattiyam Unih Pannaattam Tam Jaha
Utpattiya Vean Ah Kammiya Parinaamiya. Buddhi Ghadabdiha Butta Panchma Noaklabhai."
- Nandosutra 26
(b) "Baumaviha Buddhi Pannaata, Tam Jaha - Ppatttiya, Veanaiya, Kammiya, Parinaamiya."
