Āgantavya (आगन्तव्य) refers to “causing to come (the celebration of one’s marriage)” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.39 (“The gods arrive at Kailāsa”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Brahmā: “Dear child of great intellect, listen to the glory of Śiva, what lord Śiva did on receiving the auspicious letter, On reading the auspicious letter with joy, Śiva laughed in delight. The lord honoured them duly. Causing the letter to be read aloud (vācayitvā), He duly accepted the proposal. Honouring the messengers He informed them. He told the sages—‘Every thing is auspicious and well done. All of you shall grace (āgantavya) the celebration of my marriage. The marriage proposal has been accepted by me’. [...]”

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
