Prakṛtirūpa (प्रकृतिरूप) refers to “one whose form is Prakṛti” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.11 (“The Gods’ prayer”).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu eulogized Śiva: “O overlord of the Gods, O great lord, O merciful one, O kinsman of the distressed. Be pleased, O supreme lord. Be merciful, O favourite of those who bow to you. Obeisance to you devoid of the attributes. Again obeisance to you possessed of attributes. Again obeisance to you of the form of Prakṛti (prakṛtirūpa) and Puruṣa [prakṛtirūpāya punaśca puruṣāya ca]. [...]”.
