Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - (Ganesha)Vratasaṃpūrṇa (व्रतसंपूर्ण) refers to the “completion of the Vrata” (associated with the worship of Gaṇeśa), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.18 (“Gaṇeśa crowned as the chief of Gaṇas”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Gaṇeśa: “[...] The devotee shall keep awake at night and perform worship in the morning. After that the rites of formal dismissal with the mantra ‘kṣemāya punarāgamanāya ca’ (For welfare and return again) shall be performed. The benediction as well as good wishes shall be received from the boy. In order to make the Vrata complete (vratasaṃpūrṇa), handfuls of flowers shall be offered. [...]”.
Ganapatya (गाणपत्य, gāṇapatya) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Ganesha is revered and worshipped as the prime deity (ishta-devata). Being a minor though influential movement, Ganapatya evovled, llike Shaktism and Shaivism, as a separate movement leaving behind a large body of literature.
