Rudatī (रुदती) (Cf. Rudat) refers to “crying” (due to separation), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “[...] A wonderfully loud sound arose covering the whole firmament when the fire issuing from Śiva’s eye burnt Kāma. [...] Himavat along with his attendants and relatives was surprised on hearing that loud report. He was agitated on remembering that his daughter had gone there. On seeing his daughter excessively agitated, the lord of the mountains was sorry. The lord of the mountains approached her gently as she was crying [i.e., rudatī] due to her separation from Śiva. [...]”.
