Krodhavasa

Krodhavasha (Sanskrit: क्रोधवशा, IAST: Krodhavaśā) is a wife of the sage Kashyapa in Hindu mythology. She is described to be the mother of Surabhi, and the daughter of Daksha in the Ramayana. She is the mother of a class of asuras known as the Krodhavashas. According to legend, due to her short-tempered temperament, the children born to her are regarded to be ferocious animals, birds, and fish, and all the species with sharp teeth.

Krodavasha is stated to have ten daughters in some texts: Mrgi, Mrgamanda, Hari, Bhadramata, Matangi, Sarduli, Shveta, Surabhi, Surasa, and Kadru.
