Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Bahumāna (बहुमान) refers to “honour”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.30 (“The Celebration of Pārvatī’s Return”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing that Pārvatī was returning, Menā and Himavat excessively delighted went ahead seated in a divine vehicle. [...] At that time the gods, seated in their aerial chariots in the sky, showered auspicious flowers, bowed to and eulogised her with hymns. Then the Brahmins and others joyfully took you within the city in a resplendent chariot. Then the brahmins, the maids and other women took her within the house with due honour (bahumāna). [...]”.
