The disciple who has seen him should worship the teacher with all his feeling. [...] He should offer himself as his servant and worship him, (offering) himself and (his) wealth, until the teacher is satisfied. When he is satisfied, he initiates the disciple and so his fetters are destroyed (pāśakṣaya). [...]”.
