Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Vedāntavedin (वेदान्तवेदिन्) refers to “one who can be known through spiritual insight” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.12.—Accordingly, after Himācala (i.e., Himālaya) brought his daughter (Pārvatī) before Śiva: “Then Śiva looked at her in the first flush of her youth. [...] On seeing Śiva the lord of all, the chief of those devoted to penance, the lord with the moon as his ornament, who can be known through spiritual insight [i.e., vedāntavedin] and who was sitting in the meditative posture closing His eyes, Himācala saluted Him again. Though he was not disheartened, he entertained some doubts. Thus he, the lord of mountains, foremost of the eloquent, spoke to Śiva, the sole kinsman of the universe”.
