Viṣṇuprabodhita (विष्णुप्रबोधित) refers to “being instructed by Viṣṇu”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to Menā: “O sage, when instructed by Viṣṇu [e.g., viṣṇuprabodhita], Menakā’s mind was somewhat softened. But she did not give up her obduracy. She did not consent to the proposal of giving her daughter to Śiva. Menā was deluded by Śiva’s magic”.
