Vyākulātman (व्याकुलात्मन्) refers to “one whose mind is agitated”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] Saying thus with great grief, Menā entered the chamber of anger. Casting off her necklaces she lay downon the ground sighing and sobbing. O dear, in the meantime all those seven celestial sages were remembered by Śiva whose mind was agitated (vyākulātman) by the pangs of separation from Pārvatī. All those seven sages, as soon as they were remembered by Śiva, came there in person as though they were another set of wish-yielding Kalpa trees. [...]”.
