Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Gilita (गिलित) refers to “swallowed” (by Prakṛti), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva: “[...] Know that speaking, doing etc. is a Prākṛta activity. What you hear, what you eat, what you see and what you do—all these are (essentially) the activities of Prakṛti. To say that it is unreal is meaningless. O lord, if you are greater than Prakṛti, wherefore do you perform penance, O Śiva, now, on this mountain Himavat. O Śiva, you have been swallowed by Prakṛti [i.e., gilita], you do not know your own situation. O lord, if you do not know your own situation why do you perform penance? [...]”.
