The Prajnapana Sutra states that as long as there is wandering and coming and going, liberation from the cycle of birth and death cannot be attained. Liberation cannot be achieved by any deity, god, or avatar (God), but only through one's own practice of the Three Jewels (Ratnatraya). By explaining the distinctions between knowledge, vision, and conduct, it clarifies that attaining the state of Upashantakashaya, Kshina-kashaya, Saksham-samparaya, Vitraga, and Kevalitva, etc., is within the power of the human being. Through their own efforts, they can achieve the highest level of Aryatva and Siddhatva. While the Prajnapana of Narakas and Devas is discussed in detail elsewhere, the Prajnapana of humans is not as extensively covered. Therefore, the first chapter presents a detailed description of humans, which is useful in clarifying the principles of Jain philosophy.
