This is the thirty-second chapter of the *Prajnapana Sutra*, named *Sanayata Pada*. *Sanayata Pada* is the most excellent stage of human life. Only after attaining *Sanayata Pada* can one ascend the ladder of liberation with increasing speed. The best worship of the three jewels, *Samyag Darshan*, *Samyag Gyan*, and *Samyak Charitra*, can be achieved only after attaining this stage. Therefore, it has been given a place in the thirty-second chapter of *Prajnapana*. *This chapter discusses the *Sanayata*, *Asanayata*, *Sanayata-Sanayata*, and *No-Sanayata-No-Asanayata* states of the twenty-four *Dandakavarti* beings, from the *Samuccaya* beings to the *Vaimanika* beings. The four aspects related to *Sanayata* have been considered for all beings. *Sanayata* means one who is a *Mahavrathi*, *Sanayami*, and *Sarva-Virat*. *Asanayata* means one who is completely *Avirat*, *Asanayami*, and *Apratyakhyani*. *Sanayata-Sanayata* means one who is *Desha-Virat*, *Shravakavati*, and *Virata-Avirat*. And *No-Sanayata-No-Asanayata-No-Sanayata-Sanayata* means one who is neither *Sanayata* nor *Asanayata*, nor *Sanayata-Sanayata*, because even *Sanayata* is a seeker, not yet a liberated soul, and *Sanayata-Sanayata* is even lower. Therefore, *No-Sanayata-No-Asanayata-No-Sanayata-Sanayata* refers to the liberated Lord. *The conclusion of this chapter is that *Naraka*, *Ekendriya*, *Tri-Vikalendriya*, *Bhavanapati*, *Vanavyantara*, *Jyotishka*, and *Vaimanika* are all *Asanayata*. They cannot be *Sanayata* or *Sanayata-Sanayata*. *Panchendriya-Tiryach* cannot be *Sanayata*, but can be *Sanayata-Sanayata*, or is often *Asanayata*. In humans, all three types, *Sanayata*, *Asanayata*, and *Sanayata-Sanayata*, are possible. Only the liberated Lord can be *No-Sanayata-No-Asanayata-No-Sanayata-Sanayata*. *Acharya Malayagiri, explaining the importance of *Sanayata Pada*, said that *Devas*, *Narakas*, and *Tiryach-Panchendriya* do not experience the results of *Sarva-Virati* type of *Charitra* or *Kevalgyan*. They cannot even listen, contemplate, or adopt *Charitra* in their lives. As a result, they experience regret and sorrow. Therefore, humans should strive to attain *Sanayata Pada*. *In the *Samyam Dwar* of the *Shatkhandagama*, *Samayik-Shuddhi-Sanayata*, *Chhedopasthapan-Shuddhi-Sanayata*, *Parihar-Shuddhi-Sanayata*, *Sookshma-Samparaya-Shuddhi-Sanayata*, *Yathakyata-Vihar-Shuddhi-Sanayata*, *Sanayata-Sanayata*, and *Asanayata* are distinguished, and the discussion is carried out through the fourteen *Gunasthanas*. 10 1. *Pannavanasuttam* Bha. 2.
