Alright, let's look at this feat
If only roughly, because I don't feel like doing that fit to circle thing right now
So, to get around needing to scale for now?
I'll be using distance from the horizon to get my minimum radius for now
It's probably larger, but I don't feel like scaling as I said at the moment
So I'll be using 100,000 meters as my low end height of the observer and the height of the ISS for my high end
Which is some 400,000 meters above the surface according to this here (well, its supposed to be the height on average, they listed it at the time of that article as being 350,000 meters *shrugs*)
Distance to Horizon calculator:
The low end gives me a cloud radius of 1,133,900 meters and the high end a cloud radius of 2,294,000 meters
It's some kind of storm, so I'll be using a cloud thickness of 12,000 meters as I did here
Volume is an ellipsoid where (4/3)PIr1^2r2 = Cloud Volume
where r1 is the Cloud Radius and r2 is the Cloud Thickness/2
This gives me a low end volume of 32,297,517,755,200,000 m^3 and a high end volume of 132,192,392,320,000,000 m^3
Air density within the cloud being some 1.003 kg/m^3
Gives me a cloud mass of 32,394,410,308,465,600 kilograms at the low end and 132,588,969,496,960,000 kilograms at the high end
Will watch this frame by frame here later, however you can see the cloud expands outward starting from around 35 seconds and ends expansion at the latest by 49 seconds.
So to expand across the radius in 14 seconds, the cloud needs to move from 80,992.857 m/s at the low end to 163,857.143 m/s
As we know, KE = 0.5mv^2
Where m is the Cloud Mass and v is the cloud expansion speed derived just above.
So a low end energy of 1.063 * 10^26 joules or 25.533 petatons and a high end energy of 1.78 * 10^27 joules or 425.419 petatons
So that's a thing, and probably the low end if I bother to scale using the circle imposition shit to scale from the planet radius later *shrugs*

Final Tally
Pashupata Passive Power Yield (Low End) = 25.533 petatons
Pashupata Passive Power Yield (High End) = 425.419 petatons
