Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Saṃbhartsitā (संभर्त्सिता) refers to “being taunted”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as her friends said to Pārvatī: “[...] When this man belonging to us is taunted, it amounts to our being taunted (saṃbhartsitā). Hence, O gentle lady, you shall not abandon your prestige of high order. Śiva always squeezes you like a crab, O Satī. What will he do now? His pride will take a favourable turn for us”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
