Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsParivārādipūjopakaraṇāntakalpa (परिवारादिपूजोपकरणान्तकल्प) (lit. “a chapter dealing with the attendant deities as well as the instruments needed for worship”) is the name of chapter 15 of the Śrīpraśnasaṃhitā: 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 [parivārādipūjopakaraṇāntakalpa]: For the embellishment of a temple, various deities are to be installed at various places. This chapter deals with the general location of these deities—Caṇḍa and Pracaṇḍa at the doorway in front of ardhamaṇḍapa, Jaya and Vijaya at the sanctuary entrances and various pairs of deities at windows of the garbhagṛha (1-16). The balipīṭha may be either inside or outside the gopura (17). As for the subsidiary deities to be found in the prakāras [āvaraṇadevatās], these are also briefly mentioned (18-21).
Turning to the instruments needed for pūjā, various ones are singled out for special descriptive treatment: ghaṇṭā (22-25), the pātras (26 ff.), the uddharaṇī-spoon (28) and other items (30 f.). Also, the dhūpapātra (32a); the dīpapatra (32b-34); the snānāsana paraphernalia (35-39a); the bhojyāsana paraphernalia (39b-46); the śayanāsana paraphernalia—such as the umbrella (50-51a), the cāmara (51b), the vyajana-fan (52), the añjanakṣodabhājana container of collyrium-dust (54), the darpaṇa-mirror (55-56), the vessels for pouring water (57-58a), and the pādukā (61-62). The yatra-conveyances are also described (58b-60, 63-66a), as well as some musical instruments (66b-67a).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
