« The Auspicious one»
N. of the disintegrating orﾠ destroying andﾠ reproducing deity (who constitutes the third god of the Hindū Trimūrti orﾠ Triad, the other two being Brahmā. « the creator» andﾠ Vishṇu « the preserver» ;
in the Veda the only N. of the destroying deity wss Rudra « the terrible god»,
but in later times it became usual to give that god the euphemistic N. Ṡiva « the auspicious» <just as the Furies were called Eὐμενίδες « the gracious ones» >, andﾠ to assign him the office of creation andﾠ reproduction as well as dissolution;
in fact the preferential worship of Ṡiva as developed in the Purāṇas andﾠ Epic poems led to his being identified with the Supreme Being by his exclusive worshippers < called Ṡaivas>;
in his character of destroyer he is sometimes called Kāla « black», andﾠ is then alsoﾠ identified with Time, although his active destroying function is then oftener assigned to his wife under her name Kālī, whose formidable character makes her a general object of propitiation by sacrifices;
as presiding over reproduction consequent on destruction Ṡiva's symbol is the Liṇga <q.v.> orﾠ Phallus, under which form he is worshipped all over India at the present day;
again one of his representations is as Ardha-nārī, « half-female», the other half being male to symbolize the unity of the generative principle RTL. 85 ;
he has three eyes, one of which is in his forehead, andﾠ which are thought to denote his view of the three divisions of time, past, present, andﾠ future, while a moon's crescent, above the central eye, marks the measure of time by months, a serpent round his neck the measure by years,
andﾠ a second necklace of skulls with other serpents about his person, the perpetual revolution of ages, andﾠ the successive extinction andﾠ generation of the races of mankind:
his hair is thickly matted together, andﾠ gathered above his forehead into a coil;
on the top of it he bears the Ganges, the rush of which in its descent from heaven he intercepted by his head that the earth might not be crushed by the weight of the falling stream;
his throat is dark-blue from the stain of the deadly poison which would have destroyed the world had it not been swallowed by him on its production at the churning of the ocean by the gods for the nectar of immortality;
he holds a tri-ṡūla, orﾠ three-pronged trident < alsoﾠ called Pināka> in his hand to denote, as some think, his combination of the three attributes of Creator, Destroyer, andﾠ Regenerator;
he alsoﾠ carries a kind of drum, shaped like an hour-glass, called Ḍamaru:
his attendants orﾠ servants are called Pramatha <qq.vv.>;
they are regarded as demons orﾠ supernatural beings of different kinds, andﾠ form various hosts orﾠ troops called Gaṇas;
his wife Durgā <otherwise called Kālī, Pārvatī, Umā, Gaurī, Bhavāṇī etc.> is the chief object of worship with the Ṡāktas andﾠ Tāntrikas, andﾠ in this connection he is fond of dancing < seeﾠ tāṇḍava> andﾠ wine-drinking;
he is alsoﾠ worshipped as a great ascetic andﾠ is said to have scorched the god of love (Kāma-deva) to ashes by a glance from his central eye, that deity having attempted to inflame him with passion for Pārvatī whilst he was engaged in severe penance;
in the exercise of his function of Universal Destroyer he is fabled to have burnt up the Universe andﾠ all the gods, including Brahmā. andﾠ Vishṇu, by a similar scorching glance,
andﾠ to have rubbed the resulting ashes upon his body, whence the use of ashes in his worship, while the use of the Rudrâksha berries originated, it is said, from the legend that Ṡiva,
on his way to destroy the three cities, called Tri-pura, let fall some tears of rage which became converted into these beads:
his residence orﾠ heaven is Kailāsa, one of the loftiest northern peaks of the Himâlaya;
he has strictly no incarnations like those of Vishṇu, though Vīra-bhadra andﾠ the eight Bhairavas andﾠ Khaṇḍo-bā etc. RTL. 266 are sometimes regarded as forms of him;
he is especially worshipped at Benares andﾠ has even more names than Vishṇu,
one thousand andﾠ eight being specified in the 69th chapter of the Ṡiva-Purāṇa andﾠ in the 17th chapter of the Anuṡāsana-parvan of the Maha-bhārata, some of the most common being Mahā-deva, Ṡambhu, Ṡaṃkara, Īṡa, Īṡvara, Mahêṡvara, Hara;

rudra


others « strong, having orﾠ bestowing strength orﾠ power», fr. a rud = vṛid, vṛidh;
native authorities give alsoﾠ the following meanings, « driving away evil» ;
« running about andﾠ roaring», fr. ru + dra = 2. dru;
« praiseworthy, to be praised» ;
« a praiser, worshipper» = stotṛi Naigh. III, 16);
m. « Roarer orﾠ Howler»
N. of the god of tempests andﾠ father andﾠ ruler of the Rudras andﾠ Maruts
(in the Veda he is closely connected with Indra andﾠ still more with Agni, the god of fire, which, as a destroying agent, rages andﾠ crackles like the roaring storm, andﾠ alsoﾠ with Kāla orﾠ Time the all-consumer, with whom he is afterwards identified;
though generally represented as a destroying deity, whose terrible shafts bring death orﾠ disease on men andﾠ cattle, he has alsoﾠ the epithet ṡiva, « benevolent» orﾠ « auspicious», andﾠ is even supposed to possess healing powers from his chasing away vapours andﾠ purifying the atmosphere;
in the later mythology the word ṡiva, which does not occur as a name in the Veda, was employed, first as an euphemistic epithet andﾠ then as a real name for Rudra, who lost his special connection with storms andﾠ developed into a form of the disintegrating andﾠ reintegrating principle;
while a new class of beings, described as eleven < orﾠ thirty-three> in number, though still called Rudras, took the place of the original Rudras orﾠ Maruts:
in VP. I, 7, Rudra is said to have sprung from Brahmā. 's forehead, andﾠ to have afterwards separated himself into a figure half male andﾠ half female, the former portion separating again into the 11 Rudras,
hence these later Rudras are sometimes regarded as inferior manifestations of Ṡiva, andﾠ most of their names, which are variously given in the different Purāṇas, are alsoﾠ names of Ṡiva;
those of the VāyuP. are Ajai ͡kapad, Ahir-budhnya, Hara, Nirṛita, Īṡvara, Bhuvana, Aṇgāraka, Ardha-ketu, Mṛityu, Sarpa, Kapālin;
accord. toﾠ others the Rudras are represented as children of Kaṡyapa andﾠ Surabhi orﾠ of Brahmā. andﾠ Surabhi orﾠ of Bhūta andﾠ Su-rūpā;
accord. toﾠ VP. I, 8, Rudra is one of the 8 forms of Ṡiva;
elsewhere he is reckoned among the Dik-pālas as regent of the north-east quarter) RV. etc. etc. (cf. RTL. 75 etc..);
N. of the number « eleven» (from the 11 Rudras) VarBṛS. ;
the eleventh Cat. ;
(in astrol.) N. of the first Muhūrta;
(in music) of a kind of stringed instrument (cf. rudrī andﾠ rudra-vīṇā);

of various teachers andﾠ authors ( alsoﾠ with ācārya, kavi, bhaṭṭa, ṡarman, sūri etc.) Cat. ;
