In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationHarāntika (हरान्तिक) refers to “(reaching the) vicinity of Śiva” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.18 (“Description of the perturbation caused by Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “[...] Enchanting all people, he spread his influence. Who was not enchanted on seeing Kāma in the company of Rati? Thus they initiated their dalliance. The sentiment of love too accompanied by coquettish gestures and emotions reached the vicinity of Śiva [i.e., harāntika] along with his attendants. Kāma, usually stationed within the mind manifested himself outside. But he could not find any vulnerable loop-hole in Śiva whereby he could enter Him. [...]”.
