Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚaileśvarapriyā (शैलेश्वरप्रिया) refers to the “beloved of the lord of mountains” and is used to describe Menā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, after Pārvatī spoke to her mother Menā: “On hearing these words of Pārvatī, Menā, the beloved of the lord of mountains (śaileśvarapriyā) lamented much. She became angry. She caught hold of Pārvatī and thrashed her with fists, elbows gnashing her teeth. She was greatly agitated and furious. O dear one, O sage, you and other sages who were there, separated her from the mother and took her far off. Menā then rebuked them again and again. She hurled harsh repulsive words at all of them”.
