pujjā jassa pasīyanti | saṃbuddhā puvvasaṃthuyā /
pasannā lābhaissanti | viulaṃ aṭhiyaṃ suyaṃ ||46||

When the worthy teachers, who are thoroughly enlightened and from early times well versed in conduct, are satisfied (with a pupil), they will make over to him their extensive and weighty knowledge of the sacred texts. (46)
His knowledge will be honoured, his doubts will be removed, he will gladden the heart of his teacher by his good acts; kept in safety by the performance of austerities and by meditation, being as it were a great light, he will keep the five vows. (47)
Honoured by gods, Gandharvas, and men, he will, on leaving this body which consists of dirt and impurities, become either an eternal Siddha, or a god of great power and small imperfections. (48)
Thus I say.

Hermann Jacobi 1895, Uttarâdhyayana Sûtra (Gaina Sûtras II, SBE 45)
