Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Alaṅghya (अलङ्घ्य) refers to one who is “untransgressable”, and is used by Satī to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.29. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] Then inciting the fury of Dakṣa further, she said to Viṣṇu and all other devas and sages unhesitatingly.. Satī said:—‘[...] It is surprising that you are so wicked as to harbour ill feelings against Śiva who is the lord of all, whose dictum is untransgressable (alaṅghya) and who is the holiest of the holy. You are certainly enemy of Śiva’”
