Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Ārādhita (आराधित) refers to “propitiating”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Pārvatī: “O goddess, listen to the wonderful efficacy of this formula on hearing which Śiva becomes excessively pleased. This formula is a king of all formulas. It yields all cherished desires, bestows all worldly pleasures and salvation, and appeals much to Śiva. Repeating this formula in accordance with the injunctions you shall propitiate [i.e., ārādhita] Śiva. He will certainly appear before you”.

Ārādhitā (आराधिता) refers to “she who is worshipped” (i.e., the Goddess), according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] She who offers Śaṃkara a boon, the faultless energy of Viṣṇu, worshipped by (this) hymn [i.e., ārādhitā—stotreṇārādhitā], spoke (the following) words free of fear. The mistress of the sacred seats said: ‘O Rudra, born from nectar! Fire born from the Middle Country! Vyāsa! Śaṃkara! Śrīkaṇṭha! Why do you contemplate me? Why am I praised (in this way)? Tell me the cause (of this) as it really is!’”.
