Sugīta (सुगीत) refers to “sweet songs”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.30 (“The Celebration of Pārvatī’s Return”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] In the meantime, Śiva, favourably disposed to His disciples and prone to divine sports, assumed the guise of a dancer and approached Menakā. [...] He blew the horn and played on the drum in very sweet tunes. Everything was very pleasant. All the citizens men, women, children and old folks assembled there to witness the performance. O sage, on hearing the sweet songs (sugīta), and seeing the delightful dance, the people entered into raptures of ecstacy. [...]”.
