Sucetas (सुचेतस्) refers to “good mentality”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.42.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] O great sage, after thus eulogising lord Śiva, I joined my palms in reverence and bent my head in humility. Then Indra and other gods, the guardians of the quarters, of good mentality (i.e., sucetas) lauded lord Śiva whose lotus-like face beamed with brilliance”.
