Trivikramajayantī (त्रिविक्रमजयन्ती) (lit. “the birthday celebrations in honor of Trivikrama”) is the name of chapter 8 of the Śeṣasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 2800 Sanskrit verses narrated by Śeṣa (=Ananta) to Nārada and dealing primarily with the use of the appropriate mantras for various occasions such as jayantī celebrations.

[Description of the chapter vāmanajayant-trivikramajayantī]: For Vāmana’s birth-celebrations, the 12th day of the bright fortnight of śrāvaṇa-month should be chosen for commemorative rites. These should be similar to those done for Rāma. The mantra is indicated and analyzed; some suggestions for accompanying dhyāna-meditations are also given (1-7). The same kind of treatment is presented in regard to Trivikrama, whose birthday is celebrated also at the same time (8-19a).
