ṛt (अवभृ�) or Avabhṛtotsava refers to the “concluding festival�, as discussed in chapter 24 of the ʳܰṣoٳٲṃh: a Pāñcarātra text consisting of more than 1800 verses devoted to temple-building and the practical concerns of the Pāñcarātra priestly community.—Description of the chapter [brahmotsava-vidhi]: [...] Each day the procession will employ a different 󲹲Բ-vehicle. These are listed (67-79). For special observances within the brahmotsava period, other optional directions are given—[e.g., ṛtdzٲ (concluding festival) on the ninth day (182-197)] [...] At the discretion of the Ācārya certain other celebrations may thus be added to the brahmotsava cycle (198-202).

Avabhrita-Snana (also Tirtha Snana) is the ceremonial bath of the icons in the river or pond, marking the conclusion of the festival is a significant event in the festival. Often, the day of Tirtha-snana is first determined and the date of commencement of the Uthsava is then worked out (Cf. Purushottama Samhita, 23; Purva-karanagama, 141). It is best (satvika) if the Tirthasnana takes place on ninth day from the commencement of the Utsava. It is middling (rajasa) if the Tirthasnana is on the seventh day. It is inferior (tamasa) if the Tirtha-snana is on the fifth day.
