Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Saṃyatendriyā (संयतेन्द्रिया) refers to “she who has perfect control over her sense-organs” and is used to describe Pārvatī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, after Śiva permitted Pārvatī to stay by his side: “[...] On seeing her with perfect control over her sense-organs [i.e., saṃyatendriyā] and engrossed in serving Him always, the lord mercifully thought. ‘I shall take her only when the last seed of ego goes away from her; when she herself performs a penance’. Thinking thus, the lord of the Bhūtas reverted to meditation. The lord who could indulge in great sports became a great Yogin. [...]”.
