Bhasmabhūṣita (भस्मभूषित) refers to “one who is besmeared with ashes” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.19 (“Jalandhara’s emissary to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara said to Rāhu: “O Rāhu of great intellect, most excellent of my emissaries, go to the mountain Kailāsa, O accomplisher of all activities. A sage and a Yogin named Śiva lives there. He has matted locks of hair. He is detached. He has controlled his senses. His body is smeared with ashes (bhasmabhūṣita-sarvāṅga). O messenger, you shall go there and tell the detached Yogin Śiva with matted locks of hair, fearlessly. [...]”.
