ṣm徱ṇiṇa徱پṣṭ (लक्ष्म्यादिपाणिग्रहणविमानादिप्रतिष्ठ�) (lit. “the marriage of Lakṣmī et. al�) is the name of chapter 30 (Kriyāpāda) of the ʲ峾ṃh: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter�ñԲ, yoga, and ) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.

Description of the chapter [ṣm徱ṇiṇa徱پṣṭ]: As prescribed (locally) the ceremonies celebrating the marriage between Śrī and the other Goddesses to the Lord are to be observed in order to please the devotees. How the celebrations are to take place is given—along with rules for processions, order of goddesses to be married, various rituals, etc. In general, the rites are analogous to domestic marriage customs. At the end of the five-day marriage festival the Lord is given an oil bath (1-378).

The special marriage ṇḍ貹 [vivāhaṇḍ貹] should be dedicated [پṣṭ] in a particular way-which way also may be taken as pattern for establishing other ṇḍ貹s as well. [Actually, more attention is given in this passage (37b-47) to the appointments to be found in the ṇḍ貹 than to the manner in which the dedicatory rituals are to be conducted].

Just as the temple compound is the structural analogy to the human body, so the Yajamāna should meditate on these parts of his own body during the various پṣṭ ceremonies. The Jīva pervades the whole structure, and throughout, the following structural elements have their corresponding anatomical analogy in the main human body; foundation stones, feet; the upper foundations, calf; the sanctuary, the stomach; pillars, the 󲹱-belt ornament; the Բ-tower, the tongue, ears and eyes; the water trough, anus; the -gable, the nose; the window-recesses and the other recesses on the super-structure, the shoulders and neck and cheeks; the 첹ś-pot on top, the head; the cement-and-plaster coating, the flesh; the stone structure underneath, the skeletal structure; the flag-pole and the darbha-grass, the male organ and genital hairs (48-53).

Each and every part of the temple should be invested with power [śپԲ] in the form of a god petitioned to reside there (54-61). Then 1000 Brahmins should be fed to celebrate this part of the ceremonies� conclusion. Then, after kautukabandha has been done to the 첹ś-pot (on top of the Բ), waters are poured over the Բ and this ends the sanctification of the Բ (62-75).

Similar rules for sanctifying the roof-superstructure of ṇḍ貹s are given (76-86). For ṇḍ貹s in the outer , like the ṇḍ貹 housing the Lord's vehicle and those of other lesser deities and for gopuras, the īṻ, etc.—directions are given for the ǰṣaṇa-sprinklings as the essential part of their sanctification (87-127). Special instructions are given for the īṻ (128-144b), with additional remarks also devoted to the description of īṻ (145-173). The kitchen, store rooms, treasury, water tank, etc., are then discussed, along with the rewards realised by him who builds them. These are to be sanctified in a procedure similar to the other buildings (174-186).
