What the texts say
In the Mudgala Purana, Lambodara has an incarnation that destroys Krodhasura, the demon of anger.

Mudgala Purana 1.20.9, 5.6.11 In the chapter on Krodhasura's pacification, the great demon Krodha bowed to Lambodara, delighted, and departed for his own excellent abode. Mudgala Purana 5.8.54 In another chapter, the divine sages worship Lambodara by the prescribed rites and praise him, their hearts and necks bowed in devotion. Mudgala Purana 5.9.2, 5.9.24 Brahma, who speaks that chapter, says the sages bowed to Gajanana, another name for Lambodara, the bestower of great success. Mudgala Purana 5.9.24
