Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀpatti (आपत्ति) refers to an “adversity”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.17 (“The dialogue between Indra and Kāmadeva”).—Accordingly, as Indra said to Kāma: “[...] O dear, the test of a real friend is in the time of distress and is also based on what he does behind the back. It is not otherwise. This is truth. Now that an adversity [i.e., āpatti] has befallen me, which cannot be thwarted by anyone else, O dear friend, it shall be a test for you today. This is not a matter that brings pleasure to me alone. This is a matter that concerns all the gods and others too”.

[...]”.
