Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Agātmajā (अगात्मजा) refers to the “daughter of the mountain” and is used to describe Pārvatī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.25 (“The seven celestial sages test Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the seven Sages said (with false words) to Pārvatī: “O daughter of the mountain [i.e., agātmajā], although you are wise and intelligent, you are not able to see through the conduct of that celestial sage who professes to be a great scholar but who is cruel-minded. Nārada is a quibbler. He misleads others. If his words are paid heed to, you stand to lose in every respect. [...]”.

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.
