These three can be done by three yogas, i.e., activity of mind, body and speech, thus there are 3x 3-9 kinds. Each one of the 9 kinds can be done in three ways, i.e. by doing oneself, or having it done by others, or by approval or acquiescence. Thus we get 27 kinds. Each one of the 27 may be due to the 4 passions. That gives us 27 x4=108 kinds. Thus the Jaina rosary has 108 beads, one for each of these 108 Jívádhikaranás.
These 108 kinds can become of 432 kinds, if we consider each passion in its 4 aspects of Error-feeding or Right-belief-preventing, partial-vow-preventing, total-vow-preventing and perfect conduct
preventing.
