Āchāryas (my guru):

Restrain their 5 senses, observe 9 types of celibacy, are free from 4 types of passions (kasayas) – they possess these 18 qualities

Observe 5 great vows (Maha vratas), observe 5 types of conduct, observe 5 types of carefulness (samitis) and 3 restraints (guptis) – they possess these 36 qualities
