Persons like Pūtanā are fearful in form. The wicked kings are fearful by their natures, and the devatās such as Indra and Śiva are fearful because of their powers.

An example of an object which caused ecstatic dread is the Pūtanā witch. Dread may be caused by mischievous demoniac characters, such as King Kaṁsa, and it may be caused by great powerful demigods, such as Indra or Śaṅkara.
