Prāyaścittasaṃprokṣaṇaśāntihomavidhi (प्रायश्चित्तसंप्रोक्षणशान्तिहोमविधि) (lit. “rules for pacification and expiatory rites with fire and water”) is the name of chapter 29 of the Puruṣottamasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text consisting of more than 1800 verses devoted to temple-building and the practical concerns of the Pāñcarātra priestly community.—Description of the chapter [prāyaścittasaṃprokṣaṇaśāntihomavidhi]: Brahmā wants to know about expiatory rites (1). Bhagavān’s reply turns mainly to the consideration of replacing broken icons (2-20) or their repair (21-34), When any repair is undertaken—to gopura, dhvaja, pīṭha, prāsādas etc.—It most be followed by a saṃprokṣaṇa-sprinkling rite in order that the spot may be ritually cleansed. How to do the repair work is given (35-53). Such saṃprokṣaṇa-sprinklings are to be done net only alter repairs but also, generally, at other times as well—and how to do it is given (54-62).
