In the first stanza, the author pays obeisance to Lord Mahavira who through his omniscience enlightens the three loka which are deprived of the right knowledge. This book offers a brief explanation about the different life forms existing in the whole universe and classifications of all living beings (bodies) as stated in the Jain scriptures, in an easy and lucid manner, for those who are ignorant of this topic and which is otherwise abstruse.
It is to be noted that each and everything stated in this book by the author is simply according to what the Jain masters have propagated.
