Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Sulakṣaṇayutā (सुलक्षणयुता) refers to “she who is endowed with all good accomplishments” and is used to describe Pārvatī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] O lord of mountains, I shall not give my daughter endowed with all good accomplishments (sulakṣaṇayutā) to Śiva with ugly features, ignoble conduct and defiled name. If you do not accede to my request, I shall undoubtedly die. I will immediately leave this house or swallow poison. With a rope I shall tie Pārvatī round my neck and go to a thick forest. I would rather drown myself in the great ocean. I shall never give my daughter to him. [...]”.
