Vijñapta (विज्ञप्त) refers to “(having) informed (someone)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after Nandikeśvara spoke to Śiva: “Śiva, who was thus informed [i.e., vijñapta] by Nandin and who was extremely sympathetic, slowly reverted from His meditation and opened His eyes. Then lord Śiva, the highly efficient great Ātman, reverted from His trance and spoke to the gods”.
