In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Adīna (अदीन) refers to “absence of distress”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.38.—

Accordingly, as Śukra said to Dadhīca:—

“[...] Having secured indestructibility, adamantine bones and absence of distress (adīna) from Śiva, he [i.e., Dadhīca] kicked the king [i.e., Kṣuva] on the head with the root of his foot. Kṣuva, the king who was haughty by the favour of Viṣṇu, became angry and hit Dadhīca on his chest with his thunderbolt. The thunderbolt was incompetent to destroy Dadhīca the noble-souled, thanks to the power of lord Śiva. The son of the creator (Kṣuva) was greatly surprised. On thus seeing the indestructibility, absence of distress (adīna) and adamantine bones of Dadhīca the great sage, Kṣuva, the son of the creator, became surprised at heart”.
