Sanmānita (सन्मानित) refers to “being duly honoured”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.37 (“The letter of betrothal is dispatched”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Urged by them lovingly, Himācala caused the letter of betrothal to be written by Garga, his priest. He dispatched the letter of betrothal to Śiva along with articles of homage through his kinsmen. Those people arrived at Kailāsa and handed over the letter to Śiva after applying (saṃvidhā) the holy mark on his forehead. After being duly honoured (sanmānita) by the lord, they returned highly delighted to the penance of the mountain. [...]”.
