Śrījayantyādyutsavanirṇayavidhi (श्रीजयन्त्याद्युत्सवनिर्णयविधि) (lit. “discussion about the celebration of Kṛṣṇa’s birth and other festivals”) is the name of the ninth 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 [śrījayantyādyutsavanirṇayavidhi]: The Ṛṣis ask to be informed about “śrījayantī” (1-3a). Nārada complies, but tells about the birth commemorations of Rāma first (3-7), then of Nṛsiṃha (8-13), only after which does he turn to “śrījayantī” or the birth commemorations of Kṛṣṇa (14-51a). In this section it is said when and how to honor Kṛṣṇa, for how long and despite what circumstances, etc. Then, Nārada tells about the birth celebrations of Śrīdevī (51b-60), which are to be followed by vijayādaśamī-routines (61-71a). Finally, the time for undertaking kṛttikādīpa-celebrations is discussed (71b-80). Again Nārada reminds his listeners that all this was reported to Brahmā straight from the Lord (81-82).
