Susevita (सुसेवित) refers to “rendering excellent service”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.6.—Accordingly, as the Goddess said to Menā:—“O Menā, formerly you served me excellently [i.e., susevita]. I am delighted by your devotion. I have come near you to grant you a boon. On hearing my words ‘Express your wish and choose a boon’ you had chosen the boon ‘great Goddess, become my daughter. Do what is beneficent to the gods’. Accordingly granting you the boon I returned to my abode. O beloved of the mountain, I have become your daughter at the proper time. [...]”.
