Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Bodhanīya (बोधनीय) refers to “(one who must be) convinced”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Seven Sages: “[...] O excellent ones, I wish to marry their daughter. I have agreed to marry her and have already granted her that boon. What is the use of talking too much? Himavat must be convinced (bodhanīya). Menā too must be convinced similarly, so that the purpose of the gods shall be served well. Whatever mode is selected by you shall be more than necessary. The task is yours. You alone are the sharers of the credit”.
