Karmayogin (कर्मयोगिन्) refers to the “detached performer of actions”, and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.41.—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu and others eulogized Śiva:—“[...] obeisance to Ugra in the form of Sun; obeisance to you the detached performer of actions (i.e., karmayogin), the slayer of Kāla, and the furious Rudra. Obeisance to Śiva, Bhīma, Ugra, the controller of living beings; you are Śiva to us”.
