Ugrasenā (उग्रसेना) or Ugrasenatithi is the name of the ninth of fifteen tithis (cycle of time) according to both the Gārgīyajyotiṣa and the Śārdūlakarṇāvadāna. The associated deity for Ugrasenā according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā is Bhujaga. A tithi was defined as one thirtieth of a synodic month (c. 29.5 days), resulting in an average tithi being slightly less than a day.
Accordingly, “(27) The ninth tithi is Ugrasenā. It is good for creating obstacles, killing and capturing, as well as for the subjugation of enemies and for the slaying of enemies. (28) One should not go on the road, to the foreign land or enter a house with corrosive poisons and so on. Rudrāṇī is the deity on this tithi”.

Ugrasena (उग्रसेन) is an example of a Śaivite name mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. Classification of personal names according to deities (eg., from Śaivism) were sometimes used by more than one person and somehow seem to have been popular. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Derivation of personal names (eg., Ugrasena) during the rule of the Guptas followed patterns such as tribes, places, rivers and mountains.
