Prapaśya (प्रपश्य) refers to “looking”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Kumāra (Kārttikeya) said to the Mountains: “O mountains, O fortunate sirs, do not be vexed, or worried. Even as you stand looking (prapaśya) on I will kill this sinner. Consoling the mountains, the gods and the Gaṇas thus, and bowing to Śiva and Pārvatī he took up his brilliant spear. The heroic Kumāra, son of Śiva the great lord, with the spear in his hand shone in his resolve to kill Tāraka. [...]”.
