Sugarbhita (सुगर्भित) refers to “(words) filled with (significance)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.4 (“The Tripuras are initiated).—Accordingly, after Nārada spoke to the Lord of the Three Cities: “On hearing his words full of significance (sugarbhita) [tadīyaṃ sa vacaḥ śrutvā mahadarthasugarbhitam], the lord of the Asuras was deluded and exclaimed with surprise in his heart.—‘Since Nārada has been initiated we too shall be initiated’—Resolving thus, the Asura approached the sage. On seeing his features, the Asura was deluded by his magic. After bowing to him be spoke thus”.
