## The Thirty-Fourth Chapter
**273** "The **Gana-graha** (gathering of the group) takes place when a **bhavy** (aspirant for liberation) expels the **mithya-devatas** (false deities) from his home.
**45** "For so long, due to ignorance, I have worshipped you with respect. Now, I will worship the deities of my own faith.
**46** "Therefore, it is futile to be angry. Go wherever you wish."
**47** "Thus, he should take them away and abandon them in another place, openly."
**48** "This is the **Gana-graha**, the previous gathering of deities. Having abandoned them, he should worship the deities of his own time, with peace."
**This is the Gana-graha kriya (action).**
**49** "After this, there is another kriya known as **Puja-radhya** (worship and study), which involves wealth, **puja** (worship), and **upavasa** (fasting). Listen to the **anga-artha-sangraha** (summary of the meaning of the angas)."
**This is the Puja-radhya kriya.**
**50** "Then, there is another kriya called **Punnya-yajna** (merit-sacrifice), which is conducive to **punya** (merit). Listen to the meaning of the fourteen **purva-vidyas** (previous knowledge) along with your **sa-brahmacharin** (fellow student)."
**This is the Punnya-yajna kriya.**
**51** "Thus, having completed the study of his own scriptures, he should listen to other scriptures or other subjects. This is the **Dridha-charya** (firm conduct) kriya."
**This is the Dridha-charya kriya.**
**52** "For one who has a firm **vrat** (vow), there is another kriya called **Upayogita** (usefulness). This involves the **pratima-yoga-dharana** (holding of the image of the **Tirthankara**) until the **parva-upavasa** (festival fast)."
**This is the Upayogita kriya.**
**44** "After the **parana** (breaking of the fast), he should take leave and go home, satisfied with the grace of his **guru** (teacher), and he will be a **bhavy** (aspirant for liberation)."
**This is the third **sthana-labha** (attainment of a place) kriya. **
**45** "When a **bhavy** (aspirant for liberation) expels the **mithya-devatas** (false deities) from his home, the **Gana-graha** (gathering of the group) kriya takes place.
**46-47** "At that time, he should say to them, 'Due to my ignorance, I have worshipped you with respect for so long. But now, I will worship the deities of my own faith. Therefore, it is futile to be angry. Go wherever you wish.' Thus, he should take them away and abandon them in another place, openly."
**48** "This is the fourth **Gana-graha** kriya. Having abandoned the previous deities, he should worship the deities of his own time, with peace."
**49** "After this, there is another kriya known as **Puja-radhya**
