Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Śāṃkararūpa (शांकररूप) refers to the “(exquisite) form of Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.45 (“Śiva’s comely form and the Jubilation of the Citizens”).—Accordingly, after Menā spoke to Śiva: “By that time the ladies of the town left the work they were engaged in, in their eagerness to see Śiva. [...] Another damsel engaged in applying the red lac juice to her feet heard the tumult outside and so left it in the middle and came out to see the procession. Thus the ladies forsook their activities, left their houses and came out. On seeing the exquisite form of Śiva (śaṃkararūpa—dṛṣṭvā tu śāṃkaraṃ rūpaṃ) they were greatly fascinated. [...]”.
