Parameśānavīrya (परमेशानवीर्य) refers to the “semen of lord Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “In the meantime he saw an excellent, lustrous and wonderful chariot, made by Viśvakarman. It was a commodious with a hundred wheels. It was beautiful and had the quickness of the mind. It had been sent by Pārvatī and was surrounded by the excellent attendants of Śiva. With an aching heart, Kārttikeya, born of the semen of lord Śiva (parameśānavīrya-ja), the perfectly wise and endless Being, got into it. At the same time, the distressed grief-stricken Kṛttikās approached him with dishevelled hair and began to speak like mad women”.
