Parīvārasaṃyuta (परीवारसंयुत) refers to “being accompanied by one’s attendants”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.42 (“Description of the meeting of the Lord and the Mountain”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The mountain saw Viṣṇu, bedecked in ornaments and seated on Garuḍa to the right of lord Śiva. O sage, to the left of the lord stood I, the four-faced deity, shining brilliantly and accompanied by my attendants (sva-parīvārasaṃyuta). On seeing us both, great favourites of Śiva for ever, the lord of mountains with all his retinue respectfully bowed to us. Similarly, on seeing the gods and others brilliantly shining behind lord Śiva and at his sides, the lord of mountains bowed to them. [...]”.
