Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Niyatātman (नियतात्मन्) refers to “one who has self-control” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.17 (“The dialogue between Indra and Kāmadeva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Kāma: “[...] Śiva is at present engaged in a great penance. [...] For the sake of gods, at the bidding of her father, Pārvatī is attending on Him, I hear. O Kāma, you shall certainly do everything necessary to bring about an interest in her in the mind of Śiva who has self-control [i.e., niyatātman]. You will become contented after this. Your miseries will be destroyed. Your exploit will be permanently established in the world. Not otherwise”.
