Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Anivṛtta (अनिवृत्त) refers to “not having cured” (a curse), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Agni: “An improper action has been committed by you in swallowing my semen. Hence your sin has become formidable at my bidding and the burning sensation has not been cured (anivṛtta). Now that you have sought refuge in me you are sure to be happy. I am pleased with you. All your misery will be dissolved. Deposit carefully that semen in the womb of some good woman. You will become happy and particularly relieved of the burning sensation”.
