Dyutisaṃyukta (द्युतिसंयुक्त) refers to “one who is lustrous” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.45 (“Śiva’s comely form and the Jubilation of the Citizens”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Extremely surprised on hearing your words, Menā the beloved wife of the mountain, saw Śiva’s form that afforded great bliss. [...] His comeliness was highly pleasing. He was fair-complexioned and lustrous (dyutisaṃyukta). The crescent moon added to his beauty. Viṣṇu and other gods lovingly served Him. The sun acted as His royal umbrella. The moon embellished Him. In every way He was extremely handsome bedecked in ornaments. It was impossible to describe adequately the great beauty of His vehicle. [...]”.
