Viśeṣapūjāpaddhativarṇana (विशेषपूजापद्धतिवर्णन) (lit. “rules for the method of special worship”) is the name of chapter 15 of the (first part of the) Śāṇḍilyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3600 Sanskrit verses dealing with devotion towards Kṛṣṇa who is identified with the Supreme, as well as ethical behavior and pious practices to be observed by devotees (bhaktas).

Description of the chapter [viśeṣapūjāpaddhativarṇana]: Discussing nitya, naimittika and kāmya worship, Śāṇḍilya gives the occasions that require them as well as the auspicious times for performing them—for the most part emphasing the naimittika-utsavas, several of which are named and briefly described (1-87a). Certain calamitious occasions call for kāmya celebrations [sic]; nitya routines should not be interrupted. Finally, the general procedure for doing kāmya-celebrations is given (87b-126).
