Bhāskarasaṃkāśa (भास्करसंकाश) refers to “one who has the refulgence of the sun”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to you, the soul of all, obeisance to Śiva the remover of distress, [...] I bow to you everywhere who are the lord of all, who preside over the worlds, who are the excellent Satya and Śiva and who have the refulgence of innumerable suns (bhāskarasaṃkāśa). I bow to you everywhere, you the lord of the universe devoid of beginning and end, the lord of the twenty six Tattvas and the activiser of everything. [...]”.
