Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Śokākulin (शोकाकुलिन्) refers to “those who are agitated with sorrow”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.34 (“The Story of Anaraṇya”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] The sage repeated his request saying—‘O great king, give me your daughter. Otherwise in a trice I will reduce everything to ashes’. The queens, knowing not what shall be done, lamented. The chief queen, the mother of the girl, fell unconscious in the excess of her grief. The brothers of the girl were agitated with sorrow (śokākulin). O lord of mountains, everything and every one connected with the king was overwhelmed with grief. [...]”.
