Vātāhata (वाताहत) refers to being “struck down by the wind”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.22. Accordingly as Sitā said to Śiva:—“[...] the most unbearable season of the advent of clouds (ghanāgama or jaladāgama) has arrived with clusters of clouds of diverse hues, and their music reverberating in the sky and the various quarters. [...] Huge trees struck down by the wind (vātāhata) appear to dance in the sky, terrifying the cowards and delighting the lover, O Śiva”.
