: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translationܳⲹ (सुमध्यमा) refers to a “slender-waisted lady� and is used to describe Prvatī, according to the Śivapurṇa 2.3.29 (“Śiv-Śiva dialogue�).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Prvatī: “[...] You are indeed the subtle primordial nature consisting of Rajas, Sattva and Tamas. You are capable of perpetual activity. You are both possessed and devoid of attributes. O slender-waisted lady (ܳⲹ), of all living beings I am the soul without abberation without yearnings. I take up bodies at the requests and wishes of my devotees. [...]�.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
