Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMādhyaṃdinokta (माध्यंदिनोक्त) refers to the “hymns of the Yajurveda”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.48 (“Description of Marriage of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] O sage, he gave a crore of elephants and chariots inlaid with gold and made beautiful by gems. Thus Himavat attained perfect satisfaction after giving his daughter Pārvatī to Śiva, the great lord, in accordance with the rules. Then the lord of mountains with palms joined in reverence eulogised lord Śiva joyously with the hymns of the Yajurveda [e.g., mādhyaṃdinokta—mādhyaṃdinoktastotrato mudā]. [...]”.
Note: Mādhyandina is a popular recension of the white Yajurveda of which the mantras are used by the priests in the nuptial and other ceremonies.
