Padmavibhūṣita (पद्मविभूषित) refers to “being embellished by a (toy) lotus”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.46 (“The arrival of the bridegroom”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] In the meantime the servant-maids in the harem of the mountain took Pārvatī out in order to worship the tutelar family deity. [...] She had a gem-set mirror in her hand. A toy lotus also embellished her (krīḍā-padmavibhūṣita). Sandal paste, aguru musk and saffron were smeared over the body by her. Her feet and soles were naturally red. Tinkling anklets added to their beauty. [...]”.
