Saṃprokṣaṇasamaya (संप्रोक्षणसमय) refers to the “occasions for saṃprokṣaṇa rites”, as discussed in the sixth chapter of the Paramapuruṣasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text in ten chapters composed of 940 verses dealing with the personnel of a temple, their prerequisites and duties, their different ranks, the privileges and responsibilities of each etc.—Description of the chapter [saṃprokṣaṇādi-samaya-nirūpaṇa]: [...] Nārada says—saṃprokṣaṇa must be done to avert further bad consequences when breakage occurs, when miraculous events take place, when lapse in routines occur, when fire breaks out or when natural calamities strike, when defilements happen, when mistakes come in rites, etc. (46-53). If saṃprokṣaṇa is not done on such occasions, the Lord will be displeased (54-55).
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.
