The Tavaarthasutra 8. Giving the qualities of knowledge and others to a disciple is called "Tyaag." 9. Not having an attachment towards any object is "Akichanya." 10. To avoid faults, one should cultivate the qualities of knowledge and others, and to serve under the guru, that is to dwell in the "Guru lineage," which is "Brahmacharya." For this purpose, several highly beneficial qualities such as attraction, taste, form, smell, sound, and bodily purity should not be neglected, and the five sentiments of the fourth great vow mentioned in the third aphorism of the seventh chapter should specifically be cultivated. [6] Now, it speaks of the distinctions of Anupriksha:
The contemplation on impermanence, shelterlessness, the oneness of the world, otherness, impurity, asava, samvara, nirjara, the lack of discrimination, the difficulty of realization, and the self-explanation of dharma - such contemplation is Anupriksha.
1. The Guru, or Acharyas, are described in five types: Pravrajaka, Digacharya, Mrutdeshta, Shrat Samudreshtha, and Asrayavachaka. The one who gives instruction is called Pravrajaka; the one who gives permission for the object only is called Digacharya. The one who first teaches the scriptures is called Mrutdeshta. The one who specially expounds the scriptures to establish a fixed introduction is called Shrat Samudreshtha. And the one who reveals the mystery of abandonment and exception of the community is called Asrayavachaka.
