Paramaśobhana (परमशोभन) refers to “having good features”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.7 (“The gods pray”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to the Gods: “On hearing these words of Śiva, the great Ātman, the gods derived more pleasure than Viṣṇu and Brahmā. At his bidding, Viśvakarman made a splendid chariot of good features (paramaśobhana), consisting of all the gods, for the welfare of the people”.
