Daityendrapatnī (दैत्येन्द्रपत्नी) refers to the “wife of the king of Daityas” and is used to describe Vṛndā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Seeing the agitated lady [Vṛndā] followed by the demons the sage drove them back with a loud bellowing sound of ‘Hum’. O sage, seeing them routed and terrified by the mere Huṃkāra, the wife of the king of Daityas (daityendrapatnī) was struck with a great wonder in her heart. Freed from the fear she bowed down to the great sage with palms joined in reverence and prostrated herself in front of him. Vṛndā then spoke. [...]”.
