Śaraṇāgata (शरणागत) refers to “those who seek refuge”, towards who Śiva is favourably disposed to, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.19. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] then all the Devas and the sages, extremely terrified, began to eulogise Him who was blazing there:—‘O lord, O great lord, favourably disposed to those who seek refuge [viz., śaraṇāgata-vatsala], O Śiva, save me. O lord Śiva, be pleased’”.
