Āhatya (आहत्य) refers to “having struck a blow” (in battle), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, after Gaṇeśa spoke to Śiva’s attendants: “[...] Before the Gaṇas of Śiva had time to pull his legs Gaṇeśa struck a blow (āhatya) at their hands and got his legs free. Then seizing a big iron club and standing at the doorway he smashed the Gaṇas. Some got their hands broken, others got their backs smothered. The heads of others were shattered and the foreheads of some were crushed. [...]”.
