Śū󲹲ٲ (शूलहस्�) refers to “one holding a trident in the hand� and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.16 (“The head of Gaṇeśa is chopped off�).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Seeing his face on a side, the infuriated Śiva took up his trident with a desire to fight and came there. Pārvatī’s son of great strength and heroism, saw Śiva arrived there with desire to fight him to a finish, the great lord with the trident in his hand (śū󲹲ٲ). Gaṇeśa, the great hero, who had been rendered more powerful by Pārvatī and the Śaktis remembered the lotuslike feet of his mother and struck him in his hand with his Śakti. [...]�.
