Nṛpasambandhin (नृपसम्बन्धिन्) refers to “those connected with the king”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.34 (“The Story of Anaraṇya”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] The sage repeated his request saying—‘O great king, give me your daughter. Otherwise in a trice I will reduce everything to ashes’. The queens, knowing not what shall be done, lamented. The chief queen, the mother of the girl, fell unconscious in the excess of her grief. The brothers of the girl were agitated with sorrow. O lord of mountains, everything and every one connected with the king (nṛpasambandhin) was overwhelmed with grief. [...]”.
