________________ 9. May tha Acāryas who have acquired exalted position by observing five Mahávratas (complete vows), who are the possessors of contemporary knowledge of their own faith and the faith of others and who have been saturated with diverse clusters of virtues, do good to me. 10. May the Upādhyāyas who are the illuminators of the mundane souls wandering in the dense darkness of ignorance which is difficult in crossing, impart supreme understanding (to me). 11. May the Sådhus who are full of multitude of glory, by whom the garland of virtues has been steadily sustained, by whom attachment has been cast aside and by whom the parts of the body have been adorned with immense modesty, bestow happiness on me. 12. Arahantas, Aśarīras (Siddhas), Ācāryas, Upådhyāyas and Munis are the five objects of devotion. Oṁkāra has emerged from the five letters (A + A + A+ U + M).
