Anīpsitā (अनीप्सिता) refers to “not being the intention”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.50 (“Description of fun and frolic”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Then the sixteen celestial ladies arrived there and saw the couple [i.e., Śiva and Pārvatī] with great respect. [...] The celestial ladies made these sweet witty remarks to Him one by one. [...] Arundhatī said:—‘This lady was not intended (anīpsitā) at first to be given to you. But it is after my efforts that she has been given to you. Hence you must have a good dalliance with her’”.
