Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Bhartsita (भर्त्सित) refers to “taunting someone”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to his attendants: “Hello, Gaṇas, impotent wretches, you profess to be heroic but are never so. You are unfit to stand before me and speak. If he is only taunted (bhartsita) he will speak in similar tone again. Go and beat him. Some one among you may be competent to do so. Why should I speak more? He must be driven away”.
