Śokapariplutā (शोकपरिप्लुता) refers to “excessive grief”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “O sage she lamented thus and in many a similar manner she cried in the excess of her grief (duḥkha-śokapariplutā). Then I came there quickly and narrated to her the principles of Śiva which ought to have dispelled her perverted knowledge. [Brahmā said:—] ‘O Menā, you shall listen lovingly to my auspicious words whereby your evil inclination shall cease. [...]’”.
