Īśavartin (ईशवर्तिन्) refers to “(good) men acting under the guidance of Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] O dear one, Śiva has already granted Pārvatī the boon at the time of her penance. A promise of Śiva cannot be turned topsy-turvy. Oh! even the promise of ordinary good men acting under the guidance of Śiva (īśavartinsādhūnāmīśavartinām) cannot be transgressed in all the worlds. O mountain, what then about that of Śiva Himslf. Working singlehanded, Lord Indra chopped off the wings of mountains as though at play. Pārvatī too sportively broke the peak of Meru. [...]”.
