Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMahātejovatī (महातेजोवती) refers to “highly brilliant” and is used to describe Satī (manifested from Umā), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.16. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On hearing these words of Śiva in the presence of Viṣṇu, smilingly and joyously I spoke thus in humble spirits.: [...] She (Umā) is born now as Dakṣa’s daughter in the name of Satī. O lord, she will be an ideal wife rendering wholesome service. O lord of devas, at present she is performing penance for securing you. She is firm in her austere rites. She desires you as her husband. Indeed she is highly brilliant (mahātejovatī)”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
