chandas Prose, the title
krodhāsura Krodhasura — The demon whose name is anger itself. He is beaten by Lambodara and then makes this hymn, which is why the boon at the end is about fear born of anger.
note From the eighth chapter of the Lambodara story in the Mudgala Purana.

asamprajñāta knowing that rests on nothing — In Patanjali's yoga, asamprajnata samadhi holds no object at all, while samprajnata still holds one. The verse gives the first to the trunk and the second to the body.
