Dīnamānasa (दीनमानस) refers to a “depression”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, after Lord Viṣṇu spoke to Brahmā: “On account of the dalliance of Śiva and Pārvatī, the earth quaked with the weight along with Śeṣa (the serpent) and Kacchapa (the tortoise). By the weight of Kacchapa, the cosmic air, the support of everything, was stunned and the three worlds became terrified and agitated. Then the gods along with me sought refuge in Viṣṇu and in our depression (dīnamānasa) intimated to him the news”
