ٲṣṭ� (जगत्स्रष्ट�) refers to the “creator of the universe�, and is used as an epithet of Brahmā, in the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.18. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] O sage, on hearing these words of mine, Rudra, who is favourably disposed to His devotees, spoke with a smile, strictly adhering to the conventions of the world: ‘I shall go to his house accompanied by you and Nārada. Hence, O creator of the universe [viz., ٲṣṭṛ], you remember Nārada’�.
