Nāradopadeśa (नारदोपदेश) refers to “Nārada’s bidding (instruction/direction)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.26 (“Pārvatī-Jaṭila dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Vijayā said to Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin): “[...] My friend has been performing severe penance at the bidding of Nārada [i.e., nāradopadeśa] to make her beauty fruitful, to embellish her father’s race and to bless Kama. She has directed this penance to lord Śiva. O holy ascetic, how is it that her desire is not fulfilled. O excellent brahmin, you enquired of her desire. I have just told you out of my love for her. What else do you wish to hear”.
