Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Paṇḍitamānin (पण्डितमानिन्) refers to “one who professes to be a great scholar”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.25 (“The seven celestial sages test Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the seven Sages said (with false words) to Pārvatī: “O daughter of the mountain, although you are wise and intelligent, you are not able to see through the conduct of that celestial sage who professes to be a great scholar but who is cruel-minded [i.e., paṇḍitamānin]. Nārada is a quibbler. He misleads others. If his words are paid heed to, you stand to lose in every respect. [...]”.

Paṇḍitamānin (पण्डितमानिन्) refers to “those who think themselves learned”, according to the 17th century Kaulagajamardana (“crushing the Kaula elephant”) authored by Kāśīnātha or Kṛṣṇānandācala.—Accordingly, [as Īśvara said to Pārvatī]: “Listen, O Pārvatī, I shall give a critique of the Pāṣaṇḍas. Knowing this, a wise man is not defeated by them. Those devoted to fake observances; those who rebuke the religion of the Vedas; those who have fallen from caste and religious duties; those who have erred and think themselves learned (paṇḍitamānin), they are [all] called Pāṣaṇḍas [because] they act contrary to [true] religion. They fall into a terrifying hell until the end of the world. [...]”
