Krodhavasha

In Valmiki Ramayana, Krodhavasa is the wife of Kashyapa. She was the daughter of Daksha. She gave birth to demons who were also known as Krodhavasas.[1] As she was very short tempered, the children born to her were ferocious animals, birds and fishes, all monsters species with sharp-teeth.[2] [3]
