Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Upātta (उपात्त) refers to “taking up” (i.e., ‘assuming’), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.28 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin): “So long I have been thinking that some one else has come. Now everything has become clear. You are a person who cannot be killed. O lord, what has been said by you is known. It is not otherwise. If what has been said by you is real, it cannot be called unreal. Sometimes lord Śiva is seen in that guise. But He is the supreme Brahman who, out of his own accord, takes up bodies [i.e., svarāga-upātta-vigraha] in his own sports. [...]”.
