Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Punarjāta (पुनर्जात) refers to “(feeling oneself) born again”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “[...] When Śiva had vanished after burning Kāma, Pārvatī became extremely agitated due to His separation. She did not attain pleasure anywhere. Returning to her father’s abode and meeting her mother, Śivā, the daughter of the mountain, considered herself born again [i.e., punarjāta]. She cursed her own beauty. She said to herself. ‘O, I am doomed’. The daughter of the lord of mountains did not regain composure though consoled and assuaged by the maids. [...]”.
