Upadhyayas : Upadhyaya is that Jain ascetic who is well versed in Agams (Scriptures) and is fully competent in providing scriptural knowledge to monks and nuns in the order. He is the master of Agam knowledge without any order (Sangha) by freely providing his guidance and knowledge. So, he is worthy of obeisence.
Sadhus (Monks): Sadhu is that ascetic who is deeply engaged in the practice of the path leading to salvation. He observes five major vows namely vows of nonviolence truth, non-stealing, celibacy and not-attachment to possessions. He meticulously follows five discretions (samities) namely discrimination in movement (Iriya samiti) and the like. He also follows three stoppages (Gupti) namely those of mind, speech and body. He moves in the physical world without any attachment. Just as bee gets juice from the flowers without troubling them, the detached, nonposessive monk seeks food from the house-holders without causing any burden to them. He provides knowledge of dharma to the world without any desire of a reward. So, he is worthy of worship.
Eso panch Namokkaro (obeisence of the said five): It is addendum (Chulika). In it the appreciation of Namaskar Mantra has been narrated. It is stated that the obeisance to the said five, wipes out the effect of all sins and is the primary omen.
Omen is of two type namely natural one and the non-material one. All the religious practices that are performed with the desire of worldly gain are called material one (Dravya Mangal). The obeisance salutation and other such like spiritual practices which are performed for the uplift of the soul, are called non-material Omen (Bhava Mangal). Here the obeisance to five great ones done by the worshipper depicts the humility and dedication towards virtues. So it is Bhava Mangal. It is the prime one and leads to the welfare.
Procedure: Thereafter for chastising vows of non-violence the sutra of selfcriticism (Alochna Sutra) is recited.
