[...]”.

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Nirupādhi (निरुपाधि) refers to “being free from peculiar attributes” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.30 (“The Celebration of Pārvatī’s Return”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] In the meantime the lord of mountains returned from the Gaṅgā. He saw the mendicant in the human form in his court-yard. [...] Then he saw him in the form of a mass of splendour of no specific shape. It was unsullied, free from peculiar attributes (nirupādhi) and desires. It was wonderfully formless. Thus he saw many forms and features there. He was surprised and delighted much. [...]”.
