Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Premī (प्रेमी) (or Premin) refers to one “drenched with devotional love”, according the Śivapurāṇa 4.31.—Accordingly, as Sūta narrated to the sages:—“[...] after praying and bowing to the lord again and again, he [viz., Rāma] repeated loudly, ‘O Śiva, be victorious, be victorious’ and eulogised Śiva. Repeating the mantras and meditating, he performed the worship again and danced before the lord. With the heart drenched with devotional love (i.e., premī) he produced the throat-sound. Lord Śiva was much delighted”.
