Śivajñānin (शिवज्ञानिन्) refers to “one who has the knowledge of Śiva” and is used to describe Sage Nārada, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.8.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“Once, induced by Śiva, you went to the abode of Himācala lovingly, you who have the knowledge of Śiva [i.e., śivajñāni] and who are the foremost among those who know the divine sports of Śiva. O sage Nārada, on seeing you, the lord of the mountains bowed to you and worshipped you. He called his daughter and asked her to fall at your feet. O excellent sage, he bowed to you again. Himavat joined his palms in reverence and bent his head considering it his duty and spoke to you. [...]”.
