Stutvā (स्तुत्वा) refers to “eulogising (someone)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] O dear, in the meantime all those seven celestial sages were remembered by Śiva whose mind was agitated by the pangs of separation from Pārvatī. [...] Arundhatī too came there as though she was an achievement personified. On seeing them resplendent like the sun, Śiva stopped his recitation of mantras. O sage, standing in front of Śiva and bowing to and eulogising (stutvā) Him, the seven sages of great austerity considered themselves blessed. [...]”.
