[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Shapadayi in Purana glossary
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Ś貹ī (शापदायी) refers to “one who curses wicked persons�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī�).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Viṣṇu: “[...] The vow of the king of Assam (Kāmarūpa) was made fruitful. I saved king Sudakṣiṇ� who had become a hireling and a prisoner. I am the three-eyed God who bestows happiness but brought about the misery of Gautama. I especially curse [i.e., ś貹ī] those wicked persons who harass my devotees. I have the feelings of endearment towards devotees. I drank up poison for the welfare of the gods. O gods, the miseries of the gods have always been removed by me. [...]�.
