Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSūtikara (सूतिकर) refers to “one who is the cause of protection” [?] and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.26 (“Pārvatī-Jaṭila dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “When those sages returned to their abodes, lord Śiva, the cause of great enjoyment and protection [i.e., sūtikara—aicchatsūtikaraḥ prabhuḥ] wanted to test the penance of the goddess. Under the pretext of testing, Śiva wanted to see her. With a delighted mind He assumed the form of a Jaṭila (an ascetic with matted hair) and went to the forest of penance of Pārvatī. [...]”.
