Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Tiraskāra (तिरस्कार) refers to “rebuke”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as her friends said to Pārvatī: “O great Goddess, the heroic Gaṇas of Śiva arc taunting and rebuking our own Gaṇa who is standing at the door. How do these Gaṇas and Śiva enter your apartment suddenly without looking to your convenience? This is not good for you. Even after undergoing the misery of rebuke etc. (tiraskāra-ādika) he, our Gaṇa, has done well in not allowing anyone in. [...]”.
