Salutation to the Arihants, salutation to the Siddhas, salutation to the Aacharyas, salutation to the Upadhyayas, and salutation to all the virtuous beings in the world. || 1 ||
**Arihant** - Those who are destructive to the enemy-like delusion, or in other words, those who are destructive to the ignorance-veil and knowledge-veil, are called Arihants. It means those who have destroyed the four destructive karmas - ignorance-veil, knowledge-veil, delusion, and obstacles - and have attained the infinite fourfold (Anant Chatushtaya) are called Arihants.
**Siddh** - Those who have destroyed all eight karmas, including the ignorance-veil, and have achieved their desired goal, becoming accomplished, are called Siddhas. After the destruction of these eight karmas, the following eight qualities naturally manifest in the Siddhas: perfect knowledge, perfect vision, unimpededness, rightness, penetration, subtlety, lightness, and infinite power.
**Aacharya** - Those who themselves practice the five types of conduct - vision, knowledge, conduct, austerity, and power - and also guide and teach other virtuous beings to do the same, are called Aacharyas. They are also knowledgeable in the scriptures, having mastered the fourteen, ten, or nine previous periods, and are proficient in both their own time and the time of others.
**Upadhyaya** - Those who teach the twelve-fold scripture (Dwadashang) or explain the contemporary sermons are called Upadhyayas.
