Samudvigna (समुद्विग्न) refers to “becoming worried”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The sixfaced lord Kārttikeya was their great beloved son. Gaṇeśa too was likewise. Thinking thus they were worried (cintā-samudvigna) as well as delighted. O sage, coming to know of their parents’ opinion, the sons too were eager to get married. ‘I shall marry, I shall marry’ saying thus to each other they always quarrelled with each other. [...]”.
