Source: Wisdom Library: PāñcarātraŚuddhasṛṣṭi (शुद्धसृष्टि) or Śuddhasṛṣṭivarṇana is the name of the fifth chapter of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā: an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama scripture dealing with the symbology of the Sudarśana weapon while also dealing with iconography, philosophy and Vaiṣṇava rituals.
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsŚuddhasṛṣṭi (शुद्धसृष्टि) refers to “pure creation”, as discussed in the fourth chapter of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, a Pāñcarātra work in 60 chapters dealing with topics such as Viṣṇu’s discus-power, the processes of creation and esoteric practices related to Sudarśana (such as mantras and yantras).—Description of the chapter [śuddhasṛṣṭi-varṇana]: Śiva (i.e., Ahirbudhnya) then turns to the creative process. The śakti-energy as it is potentialised in and identified with Vāsudeva is Lakṣmī, His consort who is always and inseparably with Him.

Source: SriMatham: Vaiṣṇava Iconology based on Pañcarātra ĀgamaŚuddhasṛṣṭi (शुद्धसृष्टि).—The first phase of the manifestation of the universe is called "Śuddha-sṛṣṭi" or "pure creation". The transition from absolute transcendence of the Godhead to physical manifestation begins with the Highest Brahman—Vāsudeva, whose nature consists of Existence (sat), Consciousness (cit) Bliss (ānanda), Eternality (ananta) and Impeccability (amalam). It is during this phase that the six attributes of the Supreme Being make their appearance (ṣaḍguṇa, or 'Six Incommunicable Attributes').
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
