Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Mūḍhatva (मूढत्व) refers to “having been utterly deluded”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.48 (“Description of Marriage of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Himavat (Himācala): “You have been utterly deluded (mūḍhatva). You do not know anything about Śiva of whom you speak. You have no inner vision. Śiva was directly asked by you to mention His Gotra. On this occasion these words are utterly ridiculous and derisible. O mountain, even Viṣṇu, Brahmā and other gods do not know His Gotra, family and name. What then can be said about others? [...]”.
