Answer

In Jain Dharma, you may be referring to “Logassa” and “Kāusagga / Kāyotsarga.”

• Logassa is a Jain prayer in praise of the 24 Tirthankars.
• Kāusagga means standing or sitting still in meditation by giving up attachment to the body.

The numbers 4 and 40 usually refer to how many times a prayer, mantra, or kāusagga is to be performed, depending on the ritual or instruction.

Explanation

Logassa comes from the prayer beginning with “Logassa Ujjoyagare…” It praises the enlightened Tirthankars and is commonly recited in Jain daily practices, Pratikraman, and other rituals.

Kāusagga / Kāyotsarga literally means “abandoning the body.” It does not mean harming the body, but rather becoming spiritually detached from bodily movements and focusing on the soul.

So if someone says:

• 4 Logassa — it may mean reciting the Logassa prayer 4 times.
• 40 Logassa — it may mean reciting it 40 times.
• 4 Kāusagga — it may mean doing kāusagga 4 times.
• 40 Kāusagga — it may mean doing a longer or repeated kāusagga practice.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain practice, numbers like 4, 40, 108, etc. are often used as a discipline for devotion, repentance, purification, or concentration. The exact meaning depends on the context—such as Pratikraman, Pachchakkhan, Tapasya, or guidance from a Guru.

Takeaway

Most likely, “logus” = Logassa and “khausak” = Kāusagga / Kāyotsarga. 4 or 40 usually means the number of repetitions, but the correct number depends on the specific Jain ritual being performed.
