Viniveśita (विनिवेशित) refers to “having assigned (some activity of worship)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to Nārada: “O sage, formerly it was mentioned be you that Pārvatī would marry Śiva. Afterwards you assigned (viniveśita) some activity of worship to Himavat. Its fruit is visible now, to be sure. But it is adverse and meaningless. O sage, O wicked minded one, I the innocent woman have been cheated by you by all means. The fruit of penance which she performed and which is very difficult even for the sages to perform, has been this, painful to every onlooker. What shall I do? Where shall I go? Who will dispel my sorrow? My family is wrecked. My life is doomed. [...]”.
