Atipreman (अतिप्रेमन्) refers to “great affection”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.45 (“Śiva’s comely form and the Jubilation of the Citizens”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] O sage, on seeing the comely form of Śiva, the receptacle of exquisite beauty, far better than that of the cupid, you were greatly delighted. Highly delighted you eulogised Him again and again with different kinds of hymns and returned to the place where Mena was seated along with other gods. Reaching there, O sage, with great affection (atipreman-saṃkula) and delight, you spoke to the great pleasure of Mena, the wife of Himavat. [Nārada said:—] ‘O Mena of wide eyes, see the excellent features of Śiva. The merciful Śiva has taken great pity on us’”.
