Jagadvyāpin (जगद्व्यापिन्) refers to the “pervader of the universe” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.49 (“The delusion of Brahmā”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogised Śiva: “O lord of gods, O pervader of the universe (jagadvyāpin), O Sadāśiva, O lord of the universe, O lord of the world or the very world itself, be pleased. You are the supreme soul, the supreme lord and the cause of all emotions. You are free from aberrations, devoid of wastage. You are eternal, free from suspicions and doubts. You are undying. You are the great god. [...]”.
