Śiṣyagaṇa (शिष्यगण) refers to a “group of disciples”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.43 (“Description of Śiva’s wonderful sport”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Viṣṇu and Brahmā: “[...]  By that time the moon passed by with twice the splendour of Indra. On seeing him she said ‘This is Siva’ and you denied it. By that time the Sun passed by with twice the splendour of the moon. On seeing him she said ‘It is he’. You said to her ‘No’. By that time Bhṛgu and other sages, all highly lustrous and accompanied by their disciples (sva-śiṣyagaṇa-saṃyuta), passed by. On seeing Bṛhaspati in their midst Menakā said:—‘This is Śiva the master of Pārvatī’. Then you said ‘No’. [...]”.
