Citragata (चित्रगत) refers to “being drawn in a picture”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.45 (“Śiva’s comely form and the Jubilation of the Citizens”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “O excellent sage, when Śiva was nearing the threshold of the palace of Himavat, there was much jubilation there. O excellent sage, who can describe the exquisite splendour of the supreme lord at that time. On seeing Him in that form Menā stood stunned as though drawn in a picture (citragata) for a moment, O sage, and spoke these words”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
