Sarvaphalasādhanabhūtamahābhiṣekavidhāna (सर्वफलसाधनभूतमहाभिषेकविधान) (lit. “the performance of mahābhiṣeka for the accomplishment of all things”) is the name of the thirty-ninth chapter of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, a Pāñcarātra work in 60 chapters dealing with topics such as Viṣṇu’s discus-power, the processes of creation and esoteric practices related to Sudarśana (such as mantras and yantras).—Description of the chapter [sarvaphalasādhanabhūtamahābhiṣekavidhāna]: Nārada asks if there is any omnibus performance which one may undertake in order to accrue at once all the rewards that come of worshipping Sudarśana in various ways. Ahirbudhnya declares that what he is about to relate is the most secret of secrets. It turns out that the performance of “Mahābhiṣeka” is that one deed which brings to the doer everything (1-5). The bulk of the chapter deals with the details of how a king performs this “Mahābhiṣeka” rite—the sudarśana-yantra being placed on a mahendramaṇḍala-design and worshipped along with a pot filled with sanctified water. This latter is then poured over the heads of the king and his ministers (6-32).
