Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVicāryatā (विचार्यता) refers to “pondering over (a particular matter)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.7 (“The gods pray”).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to the Gods: “O gods, O sages, you listen to my words with attention. Why are you distressed? Eschew your sorrows. O gods ponder over this (vicāryatā). This propitiation of the great is not an easy task. It is heard that there is great difficulty at first in propitiating the great. The lord will certainly be pleased after coming to know of your resolute nature. [...]”.
