Hence he shone with an extraordinary splendour and great joy. With a resplendent brilliance, he, of lofty mind, became invincible like a blazing fire [i.e., hutāśana]. Then, in a beneficent hour, the lord of the mountains deposited in his beloved the entire constituent element of Śiva by means of ecstatic contemplation. [...]”.

2) Hutāśana (हुताशन) is another name for Agni, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, after the Kṛttikās spoke to Kārttikeya: “[...] Then Śiva, the lord of the universe, following the worldly convention delightedly placed Kārttikeya on a beautiful gemset throne. [...] Agni (hutāśana) lovingly gave him a spear; Nirṛti his own weapon and the wind his own weapon. Kubera gave him a mace; Śiva a spear; the gods different kinds of weapons and implements. The delighted lord of Kāma gave him the weapon of love, a club and his own lore with great pleasure. [...]”.

Hutāśana (हुताशन) is the name of a deity who received the Dīptāgama from Trimūrti who in turn, received it from Īśa through the mahānsambandha relation, according to the pratisaṃhitā theory of Āgama origin and relationship (sambandha). The dīpta-āgama, being part of the ten Śivabhedāgamas, refers to one of the twenty-eight Siddhāntāgamas: a classification of the Śaiva division of Śaivāgamas. The Śaivāgamas represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu.

Hutāśana obtained the Dīptāgama from Trimūrti who in turn obtained it from Īśa who in turn obtained it from Sadāśiva through parasambandha. Hutāśana then, through divya-sambandha transmitted it to the Devas who, through divyādivya-sambandha, transmitted it to the Ṛṣis who finally, through adivya-sambandha, revealed the Dīptāgama to human beings (Manuṣya).

Rather, for the [still] deluded [souls] he should preserve the prārabdha karma, which has the purpose of keeping [the initiate] with his [current] body, after joining it with [the karma] to be cultivated for the practice of propitiating Śaiva mantras for supernatural powers. The other [karmas] together with their consequences he should burn in the blazing initiation fire (dīkṣā-hutāśana)’. [...]”.
