Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Īśitṛ (ईशितृ) refers to a “lord”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.10.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] The drops of sweat caused by exhaustion fell on the Earth from the lord’s forehead and took the shape of a child immediately. O sage, the child was tawny-coloured and had four arms. He was comely in features. His brilliance was supermundane and unbearable to others. Like a common child he cried in front of the Great lord [i.e., parama-īśitṛ] who was engaged in worldly activities. [...]”.
