Kruddhadṛṣṭi (क्रुद्धदृष्टि) refers to “furiously glancing at someone”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.17 (“The Resuscitation of Gaṇeśa”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “The great goddess Pārvatī thus eulogised by you and other sages glanced at them furiously (kruddhadṛṣṭi). She did not say anything. Then the sages bowed at her lotus like feet and spoke to her in low voice with devotion joining their palms in reverence”.
