Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Manīṣita (मनीषित) refers to “desire”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.26 (“Pārvatī-Jaṭila dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin) said to Pārvatī: “O gentle lady, I cannot understand anything. Your penance is wonderful. Your body is not charred by the fire. Still your desire [i.e., manīṣita] remains unsatiated so far. O gentle lady, let me know about your desire; I am a Brahmin who can bestow pleasure upon everyone. Please tell me everything truly and methodically. Since we have become friends nothing should be kept a secret from me”.

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.
