Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPariśruta (परिश्रुत) refers to “that which is well known”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.27 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin”).—Accordingly, as Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin) said to Pārvatī: “[...] What is the reason whereby you wish Him to be your husband? O gentle lady, where has your wisdom gone? Think well and tell me. A previous terrible activity of His has been heard by me. If you are interested in hearing I shall tell you. Dakṣa’s daughter, the chaste lady Satī wooed Vṛṣabhavāhana (Śiva) as her husband. Fortunately their union was well known [i.e., pariśruta]. [...]”.
