Svargeśa (स्वर्गेश) refers to the “lord of heaven” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.11 (“The Gods’ prayer”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “[...] O Śiva, O favourite of your devotees. Obeisance to you, the lord of many names. Obeisance to you, free from attributes, O you who are greater than Prakṛti and Puruṣa. Obeisance to you, free from aberrations, the eternal, the ever satiated, the resplendent, the unsullied, the divine one of three attributes. Obeisance to you, possessed of attributes. Obeisance to you, the lord of heaven (svargeśa). Obeisance to the calm, trident-bearing Śiva. [...]”.
