Source: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)ṛtԲ (अवभृथस्नान) refers to the “bath (concluding the sacrifice)�, as discussed in chapter 37 [=ⲹñ屹ṛtԲ] of the Saṃkarṣaṇa-Kāṇḍa of the Ჹⲹśīṣa貹ñٰ: an ancient Pāñcarātra consisting of four sections (ṇḍ), deriving its name from the fact that according to its frame-story (徱ṇḍ) it was revealed by God in the form of Hayaśiras, the Horse-Headed One. The Agnipurāṇa chapters 62-69 have parallels with the Saṃkarṣaṇakāṇḍa of the Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra.

[...] During the course of the entire proceedings certain behavior is required (871-901) and at the conclusion of the activities all, including the Ācārya and the spectators, take a ritual bath together [ṛtԲ] (902). All who participate in any way in the installation of an icon—no matter who he is or what part he plays in the proceedings—is blessed by great merit. The various benefits to be realized are listed (903-911).
2) ṛtԲ (अवभृथस्नान) refers to a special type of ceremonial bath, as discussed in chapter 20 of the վṣṇܲṃh: a Sanskrit text written in 2600 verses which covers typical Pāñcarātra topics through a narrative dialogue between Aupagāyana and Siddha Sumati.—Description of the chapter [utsava-vidhi]: [...] When this is done, the Yajamāna-patron and his entourage are to have prepared and administered an ṛtԲ bath—which frees him and them from sins for 12 years and this is a practice also done at the end of both īṣ� and پṣṭ-rites (29-36). It is pointed out that the village is also to be purified by various undertakings (37-41). [...]

The ritual bath is known as ṛtԲ—but in this case the bath is given to the newly-installed icon using 81 pots. Then, after food has been duly offered, bali-offerings are made (1-24a).
