General definition (in Hinduism)
Saṅkalpapūrti (सङ्कल्पपूर्ति) refers to “completion of the declaration”, performed at the end of a pūjā (ritualistic worship of a deity) which aim at the purification of the devotee.—The devotee expresses his wish that the deity may be pleased with the pūjā; he dedicates the pūjā and the merit gained by its performance to Brahman with the formula “[This] is not mine. oṃ tat sat. May it be offered to Brahman”. (na mama / oṃ tat sad brahmarpaṇam astu) it is believed that without this dedication the worship does not bear fruit for the devotee. On the contrary, it bears the expected fruit only because the worship is surrendered. The deity—being pleased - is imagined to grant all desires. With this rite the devotee’s promise given in the saṅkalpa is fulfilled. He then performs ācamana in exactly the same manner as in the beginning.
