Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationViparītamati (विपरीतमति) refers to “one whose mind has taken a somersault”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] This Pārvatī is the wife of Śiva in every birth. [...] Taking the firm decision on seeing her innumerable sufferings He came to the place of your daughter’s penance in the guise of a Brahmin. After consoling her and granting her the boon He returned to His abode. It was for complying with her request that Śiva requested you for the hand of Śivā, O mountain. Both of you had accepted the proposal as you were drawn by devotion to Śiva. O lord of mountains, how is it that your mind has taken a somersault (viparītamati) now? Please tell me. [...]”
