Hatabuddhi (हतबुद्धि) refers to “those of damned intellect”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.4 (“Search for Kārttikeya and his conversation with Nandin”).—Accordingly, as Nandīśvara said to Kārttikeya and the Kṛttikās: “[...] You are the creator of the universe, you are the lord. Your place is not among these. You are a mass of attributes and splendour as the soul of a Yogin. O brother, those who do not know you are of damned intellect (hatabuddhi). Although the toads and lotuses are in the same pond toads are not honoured. [...]”.
