ղԳٴdzٲ徱śԳٲ (वसन्तोत्सवादिविशाखान्तविधि) (lit. “rules for vasantotsava and śdzٲ�) is the name of chapter 39 of the ŚīśԲṃh: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 5500 Sanskrit verses covering a number of subjects ranging from selecting a temple site through building and furnishing it to sanctifying and maintaining worship in the sacred complex.

Description of the chapter [Գٴdzٲ徱śԳٲ]: Śrī asks about how and when to perform vasantotsava-celebrations. She is told that this cycle of worship should be done either in spring or in summer during the bright half of the month. No flag-hoisting is required for this, although ṅkܰ貹ṇa, homa, bali-offerings and ṣābԻ󲹲Բ, etc. are all required. In this the icon will be taken to a garden and there afforded various refreshments and entertainments, solely to please Him (1-30). During ś-month on full moon day, the utsavabera-icon will be taken to a special ṇḍ貹, where 25 small pots are used to perform an ṣe첹. Then all sorts of seasonal flowers are used to ornament the Lord, and this festooning will be followed by entertainments, distribution of food-stuffs, etc. He who sees to the performance of this utsava will be blessed with a rich yield in his fields (31-51). Should the dates of these two ceremonies coincide, both festivals are to be observed (52-53a).
