Susambhūṣya (सुसम्भूष्य) refers to “having bedecked (one’s body)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.45 (“Śiva’s comely form and the Jubilation of the Citizens”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Extremely surprised on hearing your words, Menā the beloved wife of the mountain, saw Śiva’s form that afforded great bliss. [...] The Gaṅgā and the Yamunā were waving the Chowries. The eight Siddhis danced in front of Him. Viṣṇu, I, Indra and the other gods bedecked (susambhūṣya) their bodies and dress and accompanied Śiva. The Gaṇas of various forms and features shouted cries of ‘Victory’ ‘Victory’ and walked in front of Śiva. [...]”.
