The Upaniti Kriya consists of the proper observance of one's attire, conduct, and time, in the presence of the deity and the guru. [54]
Wearing white clothes, the sacred thread (Yajnopavit), etc., is called attire. Living a life of six virtuous acts, like worshiping the deity, is called conduct. [55]
The initiation of a Jain devotee, according to the scriptures, is called time. [56]
This is the ninth Kriya called Upaniti.

After this, the worthy man, adorned with the sacred thread, should practice the principles of the Upasaka (devotee) by studying the scriptures and understanding their meaning. This is called Vratacharya Kriya. [57]
