I don't know much about it, but in a mala there are 108 beads, at the Sri Man represents some form of respect. (108 is a symbolic number because of the Malas in India having 108 beads)

I think it was supposed to mean you have studied 108 religious texts

I would greatly be impressed if anyone other than Guru Sahib or Vaheguru could know so many texts, (no sarcasm)

Ya it would take a whole lifetime. That's wat pandits of old did though. And thats why calling someone 108 was a big deal cuz learning 108 granths is a big deal.q
