Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Śaṃkaradarśana (शंकरदर्शन) refers to the “vision of Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Menā cried aloud frequently and spoke to the gods—‘My daughter will not be given to Śiva of fierce features. Why have you all conspired together to render her beauty futile?’ O excellent sages, when she uttered thus, the seven sages, Vasiṣṭha and others, came there and spoke:—[The seven sages said:—] ‘O daughter of the Pitṛs, O beloved of the mountain, we have come here to achieve a purpose. In this important affair how can we entertain opposite views? The very vision of Śiva (śaṃkaradarśana—darśanaṃ śaṃkarasya yat) is the greatest gain. He has come to your palace as the suppliant for your gift’. ”.
