Saṃmuda (संमुद) refers to a “pleasant mood”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.29 (“Śivā-Śiva dialogue”).—Accordingly, after Pārvatī spoke to Śiva: “[...] Then Śiva vanished. With a great delight He went to Kailāsa but at His separation from Pārvatī his mind was distressed. After reaching there He mentioned the news to Nandin and others. He was very much delighted. Those Gaṇas, Bhairava and others were greatly pleased. They celebrated the occasion with great festivities. O Nārada, all went on auspiciously. All misery was at an end. Śiva too was in a pleasant mood (saṃmuda)”.
