Saṃprokṣaṇādisamayanirūpaṇa (संप्रोक्षणादिसमयनिरूपण) (lit. “the occasions for saṃprokṣaṇa rites”) is the name of the sixth chapter of the Paramapuruṣasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text in ten chapters composed of 940 verses dealing with the personnel of a temple, their prerequisites and duties, their different ranks, the privileges and responsibilities of each etc.—Description of the chapter [saṃprokṣaṇādisamayanirūpaṇa]: The Ṛṣis ask why saṃprokṣaṇa-sprinking rites are performed in temples (1-2a). There are, says Nārada, four parts to each saṃprokṣaṇa-rite, namely sprinkling the temple precincts and buildings, bathing the icon, performing śāntihoma-oblatians and offering food-gifts to the participants (2b-4a), And, saṃprokṣaṇa must be done to avert further bad consequences when breakage occurs, when miraculous events take place, when lapse in routines occur, when fire breaks out or when natural calamities strike, when defilements happen, when mistakes come in rites, etc. (46-53). If saṃprokṣaṇa is not done on such occasions, the Lord will be displeased (54-55).
