Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Virāgin (विरागिन्) refers to “one who is detached from everything” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.27 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin”).—Accordingly, as Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin) said to Pārvatī: “[...] Your friend Kāma was burnt by Śiva. He insulted you also by leaving you off and going elsewhere. His caste is not recognised. He has no learning or wisdom. His assistants are the ghosts. Poison is seen even in His throat. He also moves about in isolation. He is detached from everything [i.e., virāgin] particularly. Hence you cannot fix your mind in Him. [...]”.
