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 the letter e Up. ;
of various men Kathās. Rājat. ;
of various teachers andﾠ authors ( alsoﾠ with ācārya, kavi, bhaṭṭa, ṡarman, sūri etc.) Cat. ;
of a king Buddh. ;
du. (incorrect acc. to Vām. V, 2, 1) Rudra andﾠ Rudrāṇi (cf. alsoﾠ bhavā-r- andﾠ somā-rudra);
pl. the Rudras orﾠ sons of Rudra (sometimes identified with orﾠ distinguished from the Maruts who are 11 orﾠ 33 in number) RV. etc. etc.;
an abbreviated N. for the texts orﾠ hymns addressed to Rudra GṛṠrS. Gaut. Vas. (cf. rudra-japa);
of a people (v.l. puṇḍra) VP. ;
(ā) f. a species of creeping plant L. ;
