Parabrahmasvarūpin (परब्रह्मस्वरूपिन्) refers to “one whose nature is the supreme Brahman” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to you, the soul of all, obeisance to Śiva the remover of distress, [...] You shall be requested for salvation by the Yogins, the formost among those who know the theory of Yoga. You are stationed inside the lotus like heart of the Yogins. The Vedas and the saintly men speak of you as the supreme Brahman (parabrahmasvarūpin). You are a heaped mass of splendour and greater than the greatest. They call you the great principle. [...]”.
