Bhagnāśa (भग्नाश) refers to “being disappointed”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Kumāra (Kārttikeya) fought with Tāraka-Asura: “[...] Some of the Asuras shrieking ‘O save O save’ with palms joined in reverence sought refuge in Kumāra. Numberless Asuras were killed. Many fled. The fleeing Asuras were beaten and harassed by the gods and the Gaṇas. Thousands of them fled to Pātāla for their life. Those who tried to flee were disappointed (bhagnāśa) and put to distress. [...]”.
