Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Devarūpin (देवरूपिन्) refers to “assuming the form of a god”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, after the Gods spoke to Brahmā: “[...] When Brahmā the grandfather of the worlds came there, he saw the boy in the lap of the ocean. On seeing Brahmā coming, the ocean assuming the form of a god (devarūpin) bowed to him and placed the boy in his lap. Then the surprised Brahmā spoke these words to the ocean—‘O ocean, tell me quickly about the parentage of this boy’”.
