Aṅgadhārin (अङ्गधारिन्) refers to “wearer something on the limbs”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.12 (“The story of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “[...] Obeisance to Śiva, the blue-necked, the wearer of ashes on the limbs (aṅgadhārin) from the funeral pyre. Obeisance to you Śrīkaṇṭha and Nīlaśikhaṇḍa. Obeisance to you saluted by all, saluted by the Yogins. Obeisance to you, the great lord, whose feet are worshipped by all. You are Brahmā among all the gods, you are Nīlalohita among Rudras; you are the soul in all living beings; you are the Puruṣa of Sāṅkhya system. [...]”.
