Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Strījita (स्त्रीजित) refers to “one who is mad after women”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.35 (“The story of Padmā and Pippalāda”).—Accordingly, as Padmā (wife of sage Pippalāda) said to Dharma (in the guise of a king): “Away, away, go away you sinful king. If you cast your lustful ogles at me you will be doomed in a trice. How can I resort to you, lecherous and mad after women (strījita), after forsaking the excellent sage Pippalāda whose body is sanctified by austerities? By the very touch of a person under the influence of women all merits are destroyed. He is a great sinner. His very sight promotes sins. [...]”.
