Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚāsanayantrita (शासनयन्त्रित) refers to “being subjects to someone’s control”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Śiva: “[...] O lord, you are the emperor of all deities, the lord of all. Viṣṇu and the entire universe constitute your retinue. Viṣṇu is your heir-apparent, O unborn one, I, Brahmā, am your priest and Śukra who carries out your behests is the Royal officer. The other gods too, O lord, are subjects to your control (śāsanayantrita). They continue to perform their own duties. True. It is undoubtedly true. [...]”.
