Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMatimāna (मतिमान) refers to “(one who is) intelligent”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.34 (“The Story of Anaraṇya”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] The sage repeated his request saying—‘O great king, give me your daughter. Otherwise in a trice I will reduce everything to ashes’. [...] In the meantime the wise Brahmin, the excellent preceptor of the king, as well as his intelligent (matimāna) priest came there. The king bowed to them and paid homage. He cried before them. He explained to them everything and asked them what was the proper step to be taken immediately. The Brahmin, the preceptor of the king and the scholarly priest were experts in sacred lore and polity. They advised the king in that matter. [...]”.
