Siddhirūpin (सिद्धिरूपिन्) (Cf. Siddhirūpiṇī) refers to “one who is Siddhi personified”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] This Pārvatī is the wife of Śiva in every birth. In every Kalpa she is the great cosmic intellect, mother of wise men. She is victorious always in the form of Siddhā, the bestower of Siddhi (achievement) and is Siddhi personified (siddhirūpiṇī). Śiva carefully preserves the bones and ashes from the funeral pyre of Satī. Hence, you give your daughter, this gentle lady to Śiva out of your own free will. Otherwise she will herself go and surrender herself as his beloved wife. [...]”.
