CHARACTERISTICS OF ACHARYA (CHIEF OF CONGREGATION OF MONKS)
Among them (in the group of above monks) he, who has become the leader of a congregation of monks by acquiring the chief rank by virtue of the excellence in right belief, right knowledge and right conduct and who chiefly remains engrossed in Nirvikalpa Swaroopaacharan (unrambling state of pure, passionless conduct of the self), and when he has compassionate feeling due to rise of slight mild attachment, preaches sermons to only those Jivas who pray for and are curious for religion; he administers Deeksha (renunciation-vow) to those who want to accept asceticism, and purifies by the process of expiation those who admit their faults.
I bow to such an ascetic chief monk Acharya who admonishes such kind of spiritual conduct
