Krodhavasha

About this text

Wife of Kaśyapa and mother of the predatory world. Her descendants are described as daṁṣṭriṇaḥ, fanged; sthalajāḥ, land-dwelling; pakṣiṇaḥ, winged; abjāḥ, aquatic; and piśitāśanaḥ, flesh-eating — an ecological niche across land, air and water rather than merely ‘wild animals’.
