Darśayitvā (दर्शयित्वा) refers to “manifesting (one’s form)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.28 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin”).—Accordingly, after Pārvatī said to her maid: “Saying this, O sage, even as Pārvatī was about to step ahead, the Brahmin manifesting as Śiva clasped his beloved. After assuming the handsome form in the manner Pārvatī had meditated upon and manifesting (darśayitvā) it to Pārvatī, Śiva addressed her while she stood with her lowered head”.
