Viśveśvaraprasāda (विश्वेश्वरप्रसाद) refers to the “grace of lord Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.10.—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to the Earth (Dharaṇī):—“[...] The child acquired the name Bhauma (son of the Earth). He attained youth immedately. For a long time he worshipped lord Śiva at Kāśī. By the grace of lord Śiva [i.e., viśveśvaraprasāda], the son of the Earth, acquired the status of a planet. He went to the heavenly sphere beyond the region of Venus. O sage, thus I have told you the story of Śiva and His separation from Satī. Now listen to the story of His performance of penance”.
