Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPūjopakaraṇa (पूजोपकरण) refers to the “necessary requisities for daily worship”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] She shall not stand near the entrance for a long time. She shall not go to other people’s house. She shall not take his money, even though it be a little, and give it to others. Without being told she shall arrange the necessary requisities for his daily worship (pūjopakaraṇa). She shall wait for the opportunity to do him a timely service. [...]”.

The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

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).

2) Pūjopakaraṇa (पूजोपकरण) refers to one of the topics discussed in the eighteenth chapter of the Agastyasaṃhitā (agastya-suīkṣṇa-saṃvāda edition), an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the worship of Rāma, Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumān.—[Cf. the chapter pūjāsādhanalakṣaṇa].—[...] One should offer pūjā with devotion [bhakti] and orderliness [saṃkalpa]. [...] Agastya summarizes by saying that so far he has instructed Sutīkṣṇa in the following: pūjā, japa, homa, mantra, dīkṣābhiṣeka and pūjopakaraṇa-lakṣaṇa. He suggests that such instruction should not be given to those who are not devoted to Viṣṇu.

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.
