*Pravaktā*: The *pravaktā* appears to be a teacher who was an exponent of the traditional sacred texts, or *prokta* literature, under the general direction of an *āchārya*. The three classes of teachers, *pravaktṛi*, *śrotriya* and *adhyāpaka*, in *sūtra* II.1.65, seem to be mentioned in the order of their precedence in the educational system.
