    Description

    रुद्र देवता वैदिक वाङ्मय में एक शक्तिशाली देवता माने गये हैं। ये ऋग्वेद में वर्णन की मात्रात्मक दृष्टि से गौण देवता के रूप में ही वर्णित हैं। ऋग्वेद में रुद्र की स्तुति 'बलवानों में सबसे अधिक बलवान' कहकर की गयी है। यजुर्वेद का रुद्राध्याय, रुद्र देवता को समर्पित है। इसके अन्तर्गत आया हुआ मंत्र शैव सम्प्रदाय में भी बहुत महत्त्वपूर्ण माना जाता है। रुद्र को ही कल्याणकारी होने से शिव कहा गया है। वैदिक वाङ्मय में मुख्यतः एक ही रुद्र की बात कही गयी हैं; परन्तु पुराणों में एकादश रुद्र की मान्यता अत्यधिक प्रधान हो गयी है।

    Rudra is a Rigvedic deity associated with Shiva, the wind or storms, Vayu, medicine, and the hunt. One translation of the name is 'the roarer'. In the Rigveda, Rudra is praised as the "mightiest of the mighty". Rudra means "who eradicates problems from their roots". Depending upon the periodic situation, Rudra can mean 'the most severe roarer/howler' (could be a hurricane or tempest) or 'the most frightening one'. This name appears in the Shiva Sahasranama, and R. K. Sharma notes that it is used as a name of Shiva often in later languages. The "Shri Rudram" hymn from the Yajurveda is dedicated to Rudra and is important in the Shaivism sect. In Prathama Anuvaka of Namakam, Sri Rudram the "mightiest of the mighty" Rudra, is revered as Sadasiva and Mahadeva. Sadashiva is the Supreme Being, Paramashiva in the Mantra marga Siddhanta sect of Shaivism. Also, the name Shiva is used many times in the same Anuvaka for invoking Rudra.
