Samprakāśya (सम्प्रकाश्य) refers to “revealing” (the Tamasika rites), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.4 (“The Tripuras are initiated).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu instructed his self-created Puruṣa to delude the Asuras in the Three Cities: “[...] O ascetic, no doubt, Vedic and Smārta rites flourish and shine there. But these shall certainly be exploded through this Vidyā. O you with shaven head, you shall go there for destroying the residents of the three cities. Revealing (samprakāśya) the Tamasika rites, destroy the three cities. After that, O great one, you shall go to the desert region and stay there carrying on your own duties and activities till the advent of the Kali age. [...]”.
