Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚivasannidhi (शिवसन्निधि) refers to “Śiva’s abode”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.36 (“The statements of the seven sages”).—Accordingly, after the Seven Sages spoke to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] The great chaste lady Arundhatī tempted Menā further with Śiva’s good qualities. According to the worldly convention they smeared the moustache of the mountain with powdered turmeric and saffron as an auspicious custom. After fixing the auspicious Lagna for the marriage and congratulating and complimenting one another the sages came to Śiva’s abode (śivasannidhi) on the fourth day. After reaching the place, Vasiṣṭha and other sages bowed to Śiva and eulogised Him with different hymns. They then spoke to lord Śiva”.
