Parvatamantrin (पर्वतमन्त्रिन्) refers to the “ministers of (the lord of) mountains”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.47 (“The ceremonious entry of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Even as these confabulations were going on, the ministers of the lord of mountains (parvatamantrinparvateṃdrasya maṃtriṇaḥ) came there. They approached Śiva, Viṣṇu and others and made their submission that the time for the celebration of marriage had arrived and that they would please hasten to the palace. On hearing that, O sage, Viṣṇu and others rejoiced much and cried shouts of victory to the mountain. [...]”.
