Niya (निधा�) refers to “concealing�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.9.—Accordingly, as Himācala (Himavat) said to Menā:—“O dear, at the end of the latter half of the night, I too had a dream. Please listen to it lovingly. [...] Advising our daughter to render service to that saint I requested him to approve of it but He didn’t. A great discussion took place (between her and Śiva based on Sāṅkhya and Vedānta). Thereafter at His bidding my daughter stayed there. Concealing [i.e., Ծⲹ] her love in the heart she served Him with devotion. This is the dream I had, O bright-faced lady and I have told you all. [...]�.
