Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Saṃśrita (संश्रित) refers to “resorted to” (i.e., “seeking refuge”), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.12.—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Himācala (i.e., Himālaya): “[...] A woman is a phase of illusion. As the scholars who have mastered the Vedas say particularly, a young damsel is a hindrance to ascetics. O mountain, I am an ascetic, a yogin, never affected by illusion. Of what avail is a woman thrust on me? O friend resorted to by great ascetics [i.e., tapasvivara-saṃśrita], you shall not say so again, since you are an adept in Vedic religion, a scholar and one foremost among the wise. [...]”.
