Sarvadoṣaprāyaścitta (सर्वदोषप्रायश्चित्त) is the name of a chapter from certain manuscripts claiming to be part of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (printed edition), a Pāñcarātra work in 8200 verses and 24 chapters dealing with topics such as routines of temple worship, major and minor festivals, temple-building and initiation.—Certain secondary works—e.g. Utsavasaṃgraha (Mysore, Telugu script)—present extracts purporting to be from “Īśvarasaṃhitā” that are not found in the printed versions. [...] Chapters that are found elsewhere in other secondary documents present fragments from “Īśvarasaṃhitā” on such topics as “bhubhuptaprāyaścittavidhi, sarvadoṣaprāyaścitta and saṃprokṣaṇavidhi”. These may—or may not—prove to be fragments of “lost” portions of the Īśvarasaṃhitā.
