Apahāraka (अपहारक) [=apahāra?] refers to “dispelling (one’s pride)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.43 (“Description of Śiva’s wonderful sport”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Thus spoke Menā with her mind full of love and hope.

It was for him that Pārvatī performed a great penance in the forest’. [...]”.
