ʳṇy (पुण्यवत्) (Cf. Puṇyavān) refers to “one who is meritorious�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.11.—Accordingly, as Himācala (i.e., Himālaya) said to Śiva: “O great lord of the universe, I have come myself and worshipped you. What shall I ask you who stay in my own kingdom [i.e., ṣaⲹ]? O great lord, you cannot be attained by great penance even by the gods who put forth great efforts. But you yourself have come here. There is none more fortunate than me; there is none more meritorious [i.e., ṇy] than me, since you have come to perform penance on my summit. [...]�.
