## Chapter 246:
**Preeti** (Joy) is performed in the third month after Garbhaadhaan (conception) by the twice-born (Dwij) who are pleased.
* This ritual also involves the worship of the Jina with mantras, as in the previous rituals.
* A toran (garland) should be placed at the entrance and two full kalash (pots) should be installed.
* From this day onwards, the householder should have a bheri (drum) and ghanta (bell) played daily, according to their means.
**Supreeti** (Great Joy) is performed in the fifth month after Garbhaadhaan by the most devoted devotees who are pleased.
* This ritual also involves all the previous procedures, with the Arhant Bhagwan's image present, and the Agni (fire) and Devatas (deities) as witnesses.
**Dhriti** (Fortitude) is performed in the seventh month after Garbhaadhaan by the householders who are free from anxiety, with the same rituals, for the growth of the fetus.
**Mod** (Delight) is performed in the ninth month, close to the birth, with the same rituals, by the best of the twice-born, for the nourishment of the fetus.
* In this ritual, the twice-born should perform the following:
* **Gaatrika Bandhan** (binding of the body) - writing bijaaksharas (seed syllables) on the body with mantras.
* **Mangalya** (auspicious) - wearing auspicious ornaments.
* **Raksha Sutra Vidhaan** (ritual of protective thread) - tying protective threads.
**Priyodhbhav** (Beloved Birth) is the ritual performed after the birth of the child, also known as Jaatakarma Vidhi (birth ritual). This ritual should be performed according to the scriptures, remembering the Jina.
* The details of this ritual, including the mantras and other aspects, are extensive and should be learned from the Moolopaasaka Sutra (fundamental text on worship).
