Varapāṇin (वरपाणिन्) refers to “holding a particular weapon in the had”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.43 (“Description of Śiva’s wonderful sport”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] O sage, on seeing the innumerable Gaṇas, Bhūtas and Pretas, Menakā was terribly frightened instantaneously. On seeing Śiva in their midst, the mother of Pārvatī trembled. [...] . He had matted hair with the crescent moon on His head. He had ten hands with the skull in one of them. His upper cloth was tiger’s hide. He held the bow Pināka in one of his hands (pināka-varapāṇin) and the Trident in another. He had odd eyes, ugly features utterly dishevelled and untidy. He wore the hide of an elephant”.
