Ārohaṇahetu (आरोहणहेतु) refers to “having caused someone to go inside” (the palanquin), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.55 (“Śiva returns to Kailāsa”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Then the brahmins respectfully intimated to them the auspicious hour for the starting of the journey and consoled them. Then Himavat and Menā composed themselves and caused the palanquin to be brought for Pārvatī to get in (ārohaṇahetu). The brahmin ladies helped her to get into the palanquin. They gave their blessings. Her parents and the brahmins too offered their blessings. [...]”.
