Śailapati (शैलपति) refers to the “Lord of mountains” and is used to describe Himācala, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.5.—Accordingly, after Goddess Śivā (i.e., Umā/Durgā) granted a boon to Menā:—“Saying so, the Goddess Śivā vanished from there even as Menā was watching. [...] She told her husband about the boon, which had already been understood by him through good omens, by her words which were rendered useless. On hearing the words of Menā, the lord of mountains [i.e., śailapati] became delighted. He praised his wife who was devoted to Śiva lovingly. [...]”.
