[Endeavour (planning), preparation and commencement together make up three.] Activity (yoga) has been explainedbodily activity, speech-activity and thought-activity. One may perform an action oneself. Or one may get it performed by another. Or one may approve of what has been done by another. [These again make up three.] Anger, pride, deceitfulness and greed are the four passions. Viseșa is that which differentiates one thing from another.

Planning, preparation and commencement are three. Activities are three. Doing, causing a thing to be done and approval of a thing done are three. The passions are four. This is how these have to be taken, because of the suffix 'suc' added to the enumerated four things. Each of these attains three and other subdivisions. It is as follows. Bodily endeavour performed by anger. Bodily endeavour performed by pride. Bodily endeavour made by deceitfulness. Bodily endeavour made by greed. Bodily endeavour instigated by anger. Bodily endeavour instigated by pride. Bodily endeavour instigated by deceitfulness. Bodily endeavour prompted by greed. Bodily endeavour approved by anger, bodily endeavour approved by pride, bodily endeavour approved by deceitfulness, and bodily endeavour approved by greed.
These endeavours make up twelve. Similarly, in speechactivity the endeavours make up twelve, and in thought-activity another twelve. These make up a total of thirty-six. Similarly, preparation makes up thirty-six and commencement another thirty-six. Thus the divisions of influx of the substratum of the soul (the living) make up a grand total of one hundred and eight. The term 'ca' is intended to include the subtypes of each of the passions, namely that which leads to endless worldly existence, that which hinders partial self
