Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Snāt (स्नात्) (Cf. Snātī) refers to “bathing”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “[...] She [Pārvatī] did not achieve happiness and peace in sleeping, drinking, bathing [i.e., snātī], or sitting amidst her maids. Remembering the various gestures and movements of Śiva, she muttered to herself ever and anon—‘Fie upon my beauty. Fie on my birth and activity’. Thus Pārvatī was much distressed in mind due to separation from Śiva. She did not at all feel happy. She always muttered ‘Śiva, Śiva’. [...]”.
