Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Bhṛtyārtihan (भृत्यार्तिहन्) refers to the “distress of one’s servant”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.6 (“The miraculous feat of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin named Nārada said to Kumāra (Kārttikeya): “[...] O lord of all, ocean of mercy, favourably disposed to devotees, I am your own servant. May even a hundred sins of your own servant or a leader of the Gaṇas be forgiven. O lord, you know even the slightest act of devotion done anywhere. You are the destroyer of the distress of your servants (bhṛtyārtihan). O lord, there is no other protector save you and no other wretched vulgar person than I. [...]”.
