Śaṅkaradrohin (शङ्करद्रोहिन्) or Śivadrohin refers to an “enemy of Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.35. Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Dakṣa:—“[...] there is none to offer us refuge in the three worlds. Who can be the refuge of an enemy of Śiva [viz., śaṅkaradrohin] in this world? [...] On seeing an enemy of Śiva [viz., śivadrohin], Yama gnashes his teeth. He puts him in cauldrons of oil and not otherwise”.
