Śrutirūpin (श्रुतिरूपिन्) (Cf. Śrutirūpiṇī) refers to “that which has the form of the Vedas”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.8 (“The detailed description of the chariot etc.”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “The divine chariot of lord Śiva consisting of all the worlds was built by Viśvakarman with devoted effort. [...] Goddess Sarasvatī in the form of the Vedas constituted the bells of the bow [ghaṃṭā sarasvatī devī dhanuṣaḥ śrutirūpiṇī]. The brilliant Viṣṇu became the arrow and Agni the spear-head. O sage, the four Vedas are said to be his horses. The remaining planets became their embellishments. His army came up from water. The winds were his feathers, wings etc. Vyāsa and other sages were the drivers of the vehicle. [...]”
