Śivāsvāmī (शिवास्वामी) refers to the “bridegroom of Pārvatī”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.43 (“Description of Śiva’s wonderful sport”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Viṣṇu and Brahmā: “[...] In the meantime she saw Maṇigrīva, the other Yakṣas and their vast army with twice the splendour of Vasus. On seeing the lustrous Maṇigrīva the lord of Yakṣas, Menā was delighted and said—‘This is Śiva, the bridegroom of Pārvatī (śivāsvāmī)’. ‘This is not Śiva, the bridegroom of Pārvatī. He is only an attendant of Śiva’ said you to Menā, the wife of the mountain. By that time the god of fire passed by. On seeing his splendour twice that of Yakṣas, she said ‘This is Śiva, the bridegroom of Pārvatī’ but you said ‘No’. [...]”.
