ṣmīپṣṭ屹 (लक्ष्मीप्रतिष्ठाविध�) (lit. “installation of worship to the goddess Lakṣmī�) is the name of chapter 25 of the ŚīśԲṃh: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 5500 Sanskrit verses covering a number of subjects ranging from selecting a temple site through building and furnishing it to sanctifying and maintaining worship in the sacred complex.

Description of the chapter [ṣmīپṣṭ屹]: Lakṣmī shrines are of two kinds: subsidiary [paratantra] and independent [svatantra]. In either case, the (female) attendant deities must be attended to and installed with all sobriety. In either case, also, certain annual festivals are called for by the presence of Lakṣmī and these must be regularly attended to (1-23; 39-53). Inserted within these observations is the story of Lakṣmī’s birth and marriage to Viṣṇu (24-38).
