Duḥkhānvita (दुःखान्वित) refers to “overcome with misery”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, after Nārada spoke to Agni: “[...] O saintly one, the women became pregnant and were distressed by the burning sensation. They went home. O dear, Arundhatī was displeased with fire. O dear, the husbands on seeing the plight of their wives became furious. They consulted one another and discarded them. O dear, on seeing their own state the six ladies felt very miserable (mahā-duḥkhānvita) and distressed. [...]”.
