Dravyasampātahoma (द्रव्यसम्पातहोम) is the name of a Homa ceremony discussed in chapter 18 of the Sāttvatasaṃhitā: one of the most ancient of Pāñcarātra Āgamas consisting of roughly 3500 verses which stresses the theological standpoint of the oneness of God despite his various vyūhas (modes of existence), vibhavas (manifestations) and avatāras (incarnations).—Description of the chapter [adhivāsa-dīkṣā]: [...] The liturgy begins as the Ācārya, in the view of all present, makes certain further preparations—filling jars, etc., consecrating them for use, worshipping them and invoking the presence of the gods. These items are carefully placed, then, around the pīṭha, and the power of the viśākhayūpamantra is asked to preside over those things and to remain until the ceremony is concluded (61b-87). dravyasampātahoma is done in an adjoining place provided for it (88-110).
