Sunirviṇṇa (सुनिर्विण्ण) refers to “becoming dejected”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Seven Sages: “[...] O sages, on hearing it they were dejected (sunirviṇṇa) and have now lost interest in me and do not wish to give their daughter to me. Hence you all go to the abode of Himavat and urge the excellent mountain and his wife. Speak out the words as venerable as the Vedas. Do everything necessary to get the matter straightened out and settled. [...]”.
