Saṃkruddha (संक्रुद्ध) [=Saṃkuddha?] (Cf. Kruddha) refers to “furious”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Naradā: “O sage, standing high up in the air, holding the arrow and the bow, Kāma discharged his arrow, usually unerring on Śiva. The infallible weapon became futile on the great lord. The furious [i.e., saṃkuddha] weapon calmed down in regard to the great soul, Śiva. Kāma was frightened when his weapon failed, Standing there and seeing lord Śiva, the conqueror of death in front, he trembled. [...]

Saṃkruddha (संक्रुद्ध) refers to “enraged”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 15.7cd-9ab, while describing protection rituals]—“The Mantrin who is present to achieve protection, should offer the mark of the name to Agni in the fire. [He does this] through the performance of a nīrājana rite with a mind that is enraged (saṃkruddha-manasā), at a time when all beings everywhere [live in] fear and tremble. It is called nīrājana because it causes all good fortune”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
