Vinādita (विनादित) refers to “resonant” (with various kinds of noise), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.21 (“Description of the Special War”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] On seeing him afflicted, the powerful Vīrabhadra accompanied by a crore [Bhūtas] rushed in. The Kūṣmāṇḍas, Bhairavas, Vetālas, Yoginīs, Piśācas, Ḍākinīs and Gaṇas came there with him. The Earth, resonant (vinādita) with various kinds of noise, shouts of joy, leonine roars and the sounds of Ḍamarukas, quaked. Then the Bhūtas ran here and there devouring the Dānavas. They jumped up and danced in the battle field and threw the Asura on the ground. [...]”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
