Subhāṣin (सुभाषिन्) (Cf. Subhāṣiṇī) refers to “one who speaks sweet words”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Pārvatī: “O Pārvatī, O upholder of the Sāṃkhya system, if you say so, O sweet-voiced lady [i.e., subhāṣiṇī], you render me unforbidden service every day. If I am the Brahman, the supreme lord, unsullied by illusion, comprehensible through spiritual knowledge and the master of illusion what will you do then?”.
