Praśaṃsya (प्रशंस्य) or Supraśaṃsya refers to “praising someone”, 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. [...] Women near and dear as also the wives of her brothers embraced her closely with great pleasure.—‘A great task has been well accomplished by you. It has saved the whole family . All of us are sanctified by your noble conduct’.—Praising (su-praśaṃsya) her with these and similar words they bowed to her with great delight. They worshipped her with sandal paste and sweet scented flowers in great joy. [...]”.
