In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Bahutara (बहुतर) refers to “many other (similar things)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.12.—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Himācala (i.e., Himālaya): “Speaking these and many other similar things [i.e., bahutara] to the lord of mountains, lord Śiva the great Yogin, stopped. On hearing these ruthless words of Śiva free from sickness and desire, the father of Pārvatī became nervous, O celestial sage, and a little agitated. But he kept quiet. On hearing the words of the ascetic and finding her father, the lord of the mountains, frightened, Pārvatī bowed to Śiva and spoke these words clearly”.
