Sūta said: Adharma, as taught by the preceptors, is one that has as its fruit what is not desired. They call those persons Ācāryas (preceptors) who are elderly, not greedy and self-possessed; devoid of arrogance, well disciplined, and straight forward. He who practises (Dharma) himself who establishes others in dharma and who gathers together the meanings of the scriptural texts is called ācārya. What should be known or what is worthy of knowledge is śrauta if it is heard and smārta if it is remembered.
