ٲⲹśٳ徱śٲdzٲԳٲ (उत्सवप्रायश्चित्तादिशैत्योत्सवान्तविधि) (lit. “the rules for the expiation of mistakes made in the grand festival cycle up to the śٲdzٲ celebrations�) is the name of chapter 38 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 [ܳٲⲹśٳ徱śٲdzٲԳٲ]: On the tenth day the Ācārya prepares for ṣp岵 (5-28), after which he does 屹岹śԲ and, when it seems the Lord has been satisfied, the Lord is taken in procession through the village streets and brought back to the īṻ (29-39). There, the Ācārya petitions the Lord to permit especially assembled gods and men to return to their homes (40-60). Then the Ācārya takes the utsavabera-icon to the 岵ś, where he gets out the ṅkܰ貹ṇa-germinations, worships them, releases the 𱹲 formerly invoked there, and dismantles these sprouting trays (61-66). Then he goes around making bali-offerings (67-74), takes down the flag and takes it and the utsavabera-icon and the big pot from the 岵ś into the sanctuary. Then, he offers flowers over the head of the main icon, and with sprinklings of water from the big pot, he once again transfers the Divine Power and Presence back into the main icon (75-85). Then he petitions the Lord’s forbearance and forgiveness for any shortcomings in the mahotsava (86-97).

On the next day morning the Ācārya is rewarded by the Yajamāna, being given certain remnants left over from the mahotsava-including food-stuffs, flag, flag-pole, etc. The Yajamāna is accompanied home after this with some éclat (98-101).

On that evening the procession-idol will be taken either to a pleasure garden or to a special ṇḍ貹 where it is cool, and there it will be entertained and fed—in order that He might rest after the long mahotsava-period. This festival—known as śٲdzٲ—may last for several days if so desired, as the procedure is much like that done during vasantotsava (102-111).
