Dampatipreman (दम्पतिप्रेमन्) refers to the “love of the pair (i.e., Śiva and Pārvatī)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.50 (“Description of fun and frolic”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Then the sixteen celestial ladies arrived there and saw the couple [i.e., Śiva and Pārvatī] with great respect. [...] The celestial ladies made these sweet witty remarks to Him one by one. [...] Aditi said:—‘At the conclusion of the meal, for the purity of the mouth, please give water. The love of this pair (dampatipreman) is very rare to be seen’”.
