In Jain philosophy,
upayoga is explained as
12 kinds:

Nandi Sūtra tradition, this twelvefold classification is discussed in the
Nandi Sūtra Chūrṇi and

Spiritual Understanding
This teaching shows that the soul’s awareness can appear in different levels, from incomplete or mistaken cognition to complete omniscience. The Nandi explanation also notes that the
ten non-kevala upayogas belong to the
chhadmastha state, while
kevala-jñāna and
kevala-darśana are complete. (
