Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSammārjana (सम्मार्जन) refers to “sweeping the temple”, as discussed in chapter 16 (Caryāpāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [sammārjana-ādi-phala-devasvāpahāra-doṣa-kīrtana]: [...] Brahmā then asks about the rewards for those who donate either personal service, funds, or materials for worship to the temple. Bhagavān singles out first the sweepers in the temple: just as they sweep away the dirt from the compound so at the same time are their own sins swept away. [...]
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.

Meditation, single-minded in each moment, wisdom, splendidly clear lines, These perfections, six indeed are gained, having made the Muni’s maṇḍala”.
