Vihvalīkṛta (विह्वलीकृत) refers to “becoming agitated (in the mind)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “The brilliance of Śiva born of the eye in the forehead and cast off into the briny sea immediately assumed the form of a boy. [...] At the sound of the crying boy, the earth quaked frequently. The heaven and the Satyaloka became deafened at the noise. All the worlds were frightened. The guardians of the quarters became agitated in the mind (vihvalīkṛta-mānasa). O dear holy one, O great brahmin, the entire world including the mobile and immobile quaked at the cries of the boy. [...]”.

It should be thrown into the middle of the [Nāga] residence. Merely upon throwing all Nāgas become agitated (vihvalīkṛta). Then they send down rain showers. If it does not rain on the same day, the bodies of all those Nāgas will have spotted leprosy”.
