Śrutisārajña (श्रुतिसारज्ञ) refers to the “knower of the essence of Śrutis” [?] and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to you, the soul of all, obeisance to Śiva the remover of distress, [...] The Śrutis and those who know the essence of Śrutis speak of you thus. You are the abode of all, the self-born and the knower of the essence of Śrutis (śrutisārajña) [śrutayaḥ śrutisārajñaṃ śrutisāravidaśca ye]. The various living beings created by you and to be created in future are invisible to us. The gods, the Asuras, the brahmins, nay, the mobile and immobile beings eulogise you alone. [...]”.
