Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Nirdagdha (निर्दग्ध)refers to “being burnt (by Śiva’s arrow)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.10 (“The burning of the Tripuras”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Since they had refrained from the worship of Śiva, hundreds of Asuras were burnt by the fire generated by the arrow. They cried ‘Hā Hā’ in distress. Tārakākṣa was burnt (nirdagdha) along with his two brothers. He remembered his lord Śiva who is favourably disposed to his devotees. Lamenting in diverse ways and looking up to lord Śiva, he mentally appealed to him. [...]”.
