Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Anukampya (अनुकम्प्य) refers to “those who should be pitied”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra”).—Accordingly, as Bṛhaspati said to Śiva: “O holy lord, indeed the devotees should be pitied (anukampya) always [anukaṃpyāḥ sadaiva hi]. O Śiva, thus please make your name Bhaktavatsala (favourably disposed towards the devotees) true. O lord of gods, you deserve to cast elsewhere the fierce brilliance. O uplifter of all devotees, raise up Indra”.
