Garbharūpa (गर्भरूप) refers to the “form of a foetus”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, after Nārada spoke to Agni: “[...] The wives of the sages cast off their semen in the form of a foetus (garbharūpa) at the top of Himavat. They felt then relieved of their burning sensation. Unable to bear that semen of Śiva and trembling much, Himavat became scorched by it and hurled it in the Gaṅgā. O great sage, the intolerable semen of lord Śiva was deposited by Gaṅgā in the forest of Śara grass by means of its waves. [...]”.
