Cittaviśuddhiprakaraṇa
The tantric teacher (guru/ācārya), owed unconditional reverence and obedience by the practitioner and identified with the deity Vajradhara.
One should not transgress the guru's command, nor his seal (mudrā), nor even his shadow;
The teacher (ācārya) is the supreme deity, to be worshipped with diligence — King Vajradhara himself, present in visible form.
Vratisasana
The teacher role who must forgive the remorseful disciple, instruct the viku, and whose commands must be obeyed absolutely.
[VS_31j§2] *Guruśuśrūṣā* is devotion to the teacher.
If the disciple does not agree to the release of the sacred Vratiśāsana, cancel the consecration.
[VS_15j§7] But if he is unaware of his transgression, and especially if he scorns his teacher, he must be admonished.
