Utkaṇṭhita (उत्कण्ठित) refers to “anxiety”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.18 (“The conversation between Nārada and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] On seeing the sage Nārada coming, the distressed gods, Indra and others, stood up. After bowing to the sage, Indra and other gods, their anxiety apparently manifest in their faces (utkaṇṭhita-ānana), offered a seat to Nārada. After bowing to Nārada the great sage who sat comfortably, the distressed gods, Indra and others spoke to him again. [...]”.
