Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDharmarūpin (धर्मरूपिन्) refers to one “having dharma for its form” and is used as an epithet for Goddess Umā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.3.—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Umā (Durgā/Satī) with devotion:—“[...] we bow to her who promotes robustness in all the beings of the universe from Brahmā to a blade of grass in the whole Cosmos. You are Gāyatrī, the mother of the Vedas, Sāvitrī, Sarasvatī, the sustenance of all the universe; you are the triad of the Vedas having Dharma for its form (i.e., dharmarūpin)”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
