Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Kāryakarttṛ (कार्यकर्त्तृ) refers to “one carrying out the task” (of the Gods) and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to you, the soul of all, obeisance to Śiva the remover of distress, [...] O lord, favourably disposed towards your devotees, those Asuras have resorted to Buddha’s religion and philosophy, thanks to our good fortune and hence they have eschewed all Vedic sacred rites. You have always been the only one carrying out the task (kāryakarttṛ) of the gods and the bestower of refuge. We have sought refuge in you. Please do as you desire. [...]”.
