Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Bahusūti (बहुसूति) refers to “(the cause of) protection” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Viṣṇu and others: “[...] Śiva thought within Himself His own Soul, the form that is unsullied, free from distortions, aberrations and ailments, the form which is greater than the greatest, eternal, free from sense of possession, free from obsessions, beyond the ken of sounds and words, devoid of attributes and knowable through perfect wisdom. Thinking upon His own features thus in His meditation, the lord, the cause of great enjoyment and protection [i.e., bahusūti-kṛt] became engrossed in supreme bliss. [...]”.
