Brahmapadaprada (ब्रह्मपदप्रद) refers to the “bestower of the region of Brahman” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Śiva: “O lord who are favourably disposed to your devotees, do not indulge in that sport. Please honour your own Gaṇas and the gods suitably and make them flourish. O bestower of the region of Brahman (brahmapadaprada ), please do not treat him leisurely but kill him in your play now”.
