Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: Wisdom Library: Skanda-purana

Nibiḍa (निबिड) [or nibiḍī-kṛta] refers to a “thickly crowded (place)”, according to the Skandapurāṇa 1.3b.18 (“Pārvatī’s Devotional Service to Aruṇācaleśvara”).—Accordingly, [as a certain ascetic told Pārvatī]: “To the east of Śoṇādri there is a holy spot named Sthalīśvara. Śaṃbhu is present there in the form of a refulgent Liṅga. It is a place thickly crowded (nibiḍīkṛta) by Gīrvāṇas (i.e. Devas) beginning with Viṣṇu and Brahmā. Hence, O Umā, it is not possible (for me) to perform penance there without distraction or hindrance. [...]”.

(b) Mūlalagnikā is that in which animals are deceived and killed by many people standing under cover of trees and gradually coming close to each other (nibiḍī-bhūta) behind them [pṛṣṭhato nibiḍībhūtaiḥ kālyante yatra vai mṛgāḥ]”.
