• Āchārya saṅgh ke mukhya netā hote hain.
• Ve sādhu-sādhviyon ko dīkṣā, anushāsan, maryādā aur saṅgh-śāsan meṁ niyamit rakhte hain.
• Saṅgh ke vyavasthāpan aur dhārmik netṛitva ke liye uttaradāyī hote hain.
• Āchārya ka sthān sabse uccha mānā jātā hai sādhu-pada meṁ.

2) Upādhyāya

• Upādhyāya ka mukhya kārya śikṣā denā hotā hai.
• Ve Jain śāstra, sutra, tattva, aur dharmik adhyayan karāte hain.
