    Rudra

    "lord of songs, the lord of sacrifices, who heals remedies, is brilliant as the sun, the best and the most bountiful of gods, who grants prosperity and welfare to horses and sheep, men, women, and cows; the lord of nourishment, who drives away diseases, dispenses remedies, and removes sin; but, on the other hand he is the wielder of the thunderbolt, the bearer of bow and arrows, and mounted on his chariot is terrible as a wild beast, destructive and fierce."

    SIVA-MAHIMNAH STOTRAM

    HYMN TO THE GLORY OF SHIVA


    Om namah parvati pataye
    Hara hara hara Mahadev


    Gajananam bhuta-ganadhi-sevitam
    Kapittha-jambu-phalacaru-bhaksanam
    Umasutam soka-vinasa-karakam
    Namami vighne-svara-pada-pankajam

    0M! SaIutations to Parvati's consort, Hara, Hara, Hara, Great God (Shiva).
    O Elephant-faced (Ganesh), served by ghosts and other attendants, Eating sweet wood-apples and blackberries, Uma's son, the destroyer of sorrows,
    O remover of obstacles, I how to your lotus feet.


    Sri puspadanta uvaca.

    1. Mahimnah param te
    parama viduso yadyasadrsi
    Stutir brahma dinam
    api tadava sanna stvayi girah,
    Atha vacyah sarvah
    svamati parina mavadhi grnan
    Mama-pyesah stotre
    hara nirapavadah parikarah



    Sri Pushpadanta said:

    If it is unseemly to praise You when ignorant of the extent of' Your greatness, then even the praises of Brahma and others are inadequate. If no one can be blamed when they praise You according to their intellectual powers, then my attempt to compose a hymn cannot be reproached.


    2. Atitah panthanam
    tava ca mahima vanmanasayor
    Atad vyavrttya yam
    cakita mabhi dhatte srutirapi,
    Sa kasya stotavyah
    katividha gunah kasya visayah
    Pade tvarvacine
    patati na manah kasya na vacah.

    Your greatness is beyond the reach of mind and speech. Who can properly praise that which even the Vedas describe with trepidation, by means of' 'not this, not this'? How many qualities does He possess? By whom can He be perceived? Yet whose mind and speech do not turn to the form later taken by Him (saguna) ?


    3. Madu sphita vacah
    paramam amrtam nirmitavatas
    Tava brahman kim vag
    api suraguror vismaya padam,
    Mama tvetam vanim
    guna kathana punyena bhavatah
    Punam ityarthe'smin
    puramathana buddhir vyavasita.

    O Brahman! Do even Brihaspati's praises cause wonder to You, the author of the nectarlike sweet Vedas? 0 destroyer of the three cities, the thought that by praising Your glories I shall purify my speech has prompted me to undertake this work.


    4. Tavaisvaryam yat taj
    jagadudaya raksa pralayakrt
    Trayivastu vyastam
    tisrsu guna-bhinnasu tanusu,
    Abhavyanam asmin
    varada ramaniyama ramanim
    Vihantum vyakrosim
    vidadhata ihaike jadadhiyah.

    O Giver of boons! Some ****** people produce arguments—pleasing to the ignorant but in fact hateful— to refute Your Divinity, which creates, preserves and destroys the world, which is divided into three bodies (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) according to the three gunas, and which is described in the three Vedas.


    5. Kimihah kinkayah
    sa khalu kimupaya stribhuvanam
    Kimadharo dhata
    srjati kimupadana iti ca,
    Atarkyais varye tvay
    yanavasara duhstho hatadhiyah
    Kutarko’yam kanscin
    mukharayati mohaya jagatah.

    To fulfil what desire, assuming what form, with what instruments, support and material does that Creator create the three worlds?…. This kind of futile argumentation about You whose divine nature is beyond the reach of intellect, makes the perverted vociferous, and brings delusion to men.


    6. Ajanmano lokah
    kimavayava vanto'pi jagatam
    Adhisthataram kim
    bhavavidhir-anadrtya bhavati,
    Aniso va kuryad
    bhuvana janane kah parikaro
    Yato mandastvam prat—
    yamaravara sanserata ime.

    O Lord of gods! Can the worlds be without origin, though they have bodies? Is their creation possible with­out a creator? Who else but God can initiate the creation of the worlds? Because they are fools they raise doubts about Your existence.


    7. Trayi sankhyam yogah
    pasupati matam vaisnavamiti
    Prabhinne prasthane
    paramidamadah pathyamiti ca,
    Rucinam vaicitryad-
    rju kutila nana pathajusam
    Nrnam eko gamyas-
    tvamsasi payasa marnava iva.

    Different paths (to realisation) arc enjoined by the three Vedas, by Sankhya, Yoga, Pashupata (Shaiva) (doctrine and Vaishnava Shastras. People follow different paths, straight or crooked. according to their temperament, depending on which they consider best, or most appropriate—and reach You alone just as rivers enter the ocean.


    8. Mahoksah khatvangam
    parasu rajinam bhasma phaninah
    Kapalam cetiyat
    tava varada tanto pakaranam,
    Surastam tamrddhim
    dadhati tu bhavad bhru pranihitam
    Na hi svatma ramam
    visaya mrga trsna bhramayati.

    O Giver of boons! A great bull, a wooden handrest, an axe, a tiger skin, ashes, serpents, a human skull and other such things—these are all You own, though simply by casting Your eyes on gods You gave them great treasures which they enjoy. Indeed one whose delight is in the Self cannot be deluded by the mirage of sense objects.


    9. Dhruvam kascit sarvam
    sakala mapara stva dhruva midam
    Paro dhrau vyadhrauvye
    jagati gadati vyasta visaye,
    Samaste’pye tasmin
    puramathana tair vismita iva
    Stuvan jihremi tvam
    na khalu nanu dhrsta mukharata.

    O Destroyer of the demon Pura, some say that the whole universe is eternal while others say that all is transi­tory. Others still, hold that it is eternal and non-eternal — having different characteristics. Bewildered by all this, I do not feel ashamed to praise You; indeed my loquacity is an indication of my boldness.


    10. Tavaisvaryam yatnad
    yadupari virincir-hari-radhah
    Paricchettum yatav
    anala manala skandha vapusah,
    Tato bhakti sraddha
    bhara-guru-,grnad-bhyam girisa yat
    Svayam tasthe tabhyam
    tava kim anuvrttir na phalati.

    0 Girisha, when You took the form of a pillar of fire, Brahma trying from above and Vishnu trying from below failed to measure You. Afterwards, when they praised You with great faith and devotion, You revealed yourself to them of Your own accord; does not surrender to You bear fruit?


    11. Ayatnad apadya
    tribhuvana mavaira vyatikaram
    Dasasyo yadbahun
    abhrta ranakandu paravasan,
    Sirah padmasreni
    racita caranam bhoruhabaleh
    Sthiraya stvad bhaktes
    tripurahara visphur jitamidam.

    0 Destroyer of Tripura, it was because of that great devotion, which prompted him to offer his heads as lotuses to Your feet, that the ten-headed Ravana was still with arms and eager for fresh war after he had effortlessly rid the three worlds of all traces of enemies.


    12. Amusya tvatseva
    samadhigata saram bhujavanam
    Balat kailase'pi
    tvadadhi vasatau vikramayatah,
    Alabhya patale
    'pyalasa calitangustha sirasi
    Pratistha tvayyasid
    dhruva mupacito muhyati khalah
    But when he (Ravana) extended the valour of his arms-whose strength was obtained by worshipping You- to Kailas, Your abode, You moved the tip of Your toe, and he did not find a resting place even in the nether world. Truly, when affluent the wicked become deluded.


    13. Yadrddhim sutramno
    varada paramo ccairapi satim-
    Adhas cakre banah
    parijana vidheya tribhuvanah,
    Na taccitram tasmin
    varivasitari tvac caranayor
    Na kasya unnatyai
    Bhavati srirasas tvay yavanati.

    0 Giver of boons, since Bana was the worshipper of Your feet is it to be wondered at that he had the three worlds at his command and put to shame the wealth of Indra? What prosperity does not come from bowing down the head to You?


    14. Akanda brahmanda
    ksaya cakita devasura krpa
    Vidheya syasidyas
    trinayana visam sanhrta vatah,
    Sa kalmasah kanthe
    tava na kurute na sriya maho
    vikaro’pi slaghyo
    bhuvana bhaya bhanga vyasaninah.

    0 Three-Eyed One, who drank poison out of compassion for gods and demons when they were distraught at the sudden prospect of the destruction of the universe, surely the dark blue stain on Your throat has beautified You. Even deformity is to be admired in one who is given to freeing the world of fear.


    15. Asiddhartha naiva
    kvacid api sadeva suranare
    Nivartante nityam,
    Jagati jayino yasya visikhah,
    Sa pasyann isa tvam
    Itara surasadharana mabhut
    Smarah smarta vyatma
    Na hi vasisu pathyah paribhavah

    O Lord, the god of love, whose arrows never fail in the world of gods and men, become nothing but an object of memory because he looked on You as an ordinary god (his body being burnt by Your look of wrath). An insult to the self-controlled is not conducive to good.

    There are some similar lines in Atharvana Veda which talks about Sambu.

    Request Satay to post those

    SIVA-MAHIMNAH STOTRAM (Contd.)

    16. Mahi pada ghatad
    vrajati sahasa sansaya padam
    Padam visnor bhramyad
    bhujaparigha rugna graha ganam,
    Muhur dyaur dausthyam yat-­yanibhrta jata taditatata
    Jagad raksayai tvam
    natasi nanu vamaiva vibhuta.

    When You danced to save the world, the earth was suddenly thrown into a precarious state at the striking of Your feet; the spatial regions and the hosts of stars felt oppressed by the movement of Your massive club-like arms; and the heavens became miserable as their sides were constantly struck by Your waving matted hair. Indeed it is Your very mightiness which is the cause of the trouble.


    17. Viyad vyapi tara
    gana gunita phenod gama rucih
    Pravaho varam yah
    prsata laghu drstah sirasi te,
    Jagad dvipakaram
    jaladhivalayam tena krtami-
    Tyane naivon neyam
    dhrta mahima divyam tava vapuh.

    The river which pervades the sky and whose foam crests look all the more beautiful because of stars and planets, seems no more than a drop of water when on Your head. That same river has turned the world into islands surrounded by waters. From this can be judged the vastness of Your divine body.


    18. Rathah ksoni yanta
    sata dhrti ragendro dhanur atho
    Rathange candrarkau
    rathacarana panih sara iti,
    Didhaksoste ko’yam
    tripura trna madambara vidhir
    Vidheyaih kridantyo
    na khalu paratantrah prabhu dhiyah.

    When You wanted to burn the three cities of the demons - which were but a piece of straw to You—the earth was Your chariot, Brahma Your charioteer, the great mountain Meru Your bow, the sun and the moon the wheels of Your chariot, Vishnu Your arrow. Why all this paraphernalia? The Lord is not dependent on others. He was only playing with things at His command.

    19. Hariste sahasram
    kamala balima dhaya padayor
    Yadekone tasmin
    nija mudaharan netra kamalam,
    Gato bhaktyu drekah
    parinatim asau cakra vapusa
    Trayanam raksayai
    tripura hara jagarti jagatam.

    0 Destroyer of the three cities, Hari rooted out His own lotus-eye to make up the difference when one flowerwas missing in His offering of 1,000 lotuses to Your feet. For this great devotion You awarded the discus (Sudarshan Chakra) ~ with which Hari protects the three worlds.


    20. Kratau supte jagrat
    tvamasi phalayoge kratumatam
    Kva karma pradhvastam
    phalati purusa radhana mrte,
    Atas tvam sam preksya
    kratusu phala dana pratibhuvam
    Srutau sraddham baddhva
    drdha parikarah karmasu janah.

    When a sacrifice has ended, You ever keep awake to bestow its fruit on the sacrificer. How can any action bear fruit if not accompanied by worship of You, 0 Lord? Therefore, knowing You to be the Giver of fruits of sacrifices and putting faith in the Vedas, people become resolute about the performance of sacrificial acts.


    21. Kriyadakso daksah
    kratupati radhisa stanubhrtam
    Rsinam artvijyam
    saranada sadasyah suraganah,
    Kratu bhramsas tvattah
    kratuphala vidhana vyasanino
    Dhruvam kartuh sraddha
    vidhura mabhicaraya hi makhah.

    0 Giver of refuge, even that sacrifice where Daksha, the Lord of creation and expert in sacrifices, was the sacrificer, rishis were priests, gods participants, was destroy­ed by You who are habitually the Giver of fruits of sacrifices. Surely sacrifices cause injury to the sacrificers in the absence of faith and devotion.


    22. Praja natham natha
    prasabha mabhikam svam duhitaram
    Gatam rohid bhutam
    rira mayisu mrsyasya vapusa,
    Dhanus paner yatam
    divamapi sapatra krtamamum
    Trasantam te'dyapi
    tyajati na mrga vyadha rabhasah.

    0 Lord, the fury of You who became a hunter with a bow in hand has not as yet left Brahma-who, overcome by incestuous lust and finding his own daughter transforming herself into a hind, desired to ravish her in the body of a stag-and keenly pierced by Your arrows, he (Brahma) has fled to the sky.


    23. Sva lavanya sansa
    dhrta dhanusa mahnnaya trnavat
    Purah p1ustam drstva
    Pura mathana puspa yudhamapi,
    Yadi strninam devi
    Yama nirata dehardha ghatana
    Davaiti tvam addha
    Bata varada mugdha yuvatayah.

    O Destroyer of the three cities, 0 Giver of boons, is Parvati who saw the god of love, bow in hand, burnt like a piece of straw in a minute by You, still proud of her beauty and believing that You are fascinated by her, because she was allowed to occupy half Your body because of her austerities? ... Ah, surely all women are under delusion. You have completely conquered Your senses.


    24 . Smasanesvai krida
    smarahara pisacah sahacaras
    Cita bhasma lepah
    sragapi nrkaroti parikarah.
    Amangalyam silam
    tava bhavatu namaiva makhilam
    Tathapi smartrnam
    varada paramam mangalamasi.

    O Destroyer of the god of love, 0 Giver of boons, Your play is in cremation grounds, Your companions are ghosts, You smear Your body with the ashes of burnt bodies, human skulls are Your garland-all Your conduct is indeed inauspicious. But You promote the greatest good of those who remember You.


    25. Manah pratyak citte
    savidha mavadhayatta marutah
    Prahrsyad romanah
    pramada salilot sangitadrsah
    Yada lokyah ladam
    hrada iva nimajya mrtamaye
    Dadhat yantas tattvam
    Kimapi yaminas tat kila bhavan.

    You are indeed that inexpressible Truth which the yogis realise within through concentrating their minds on the Self and controlling the breath according to the directions laid down in the scriptures, and realising which Truth they experience rapturous thrills and shed profuse tears of joy; swimming as it were in a pool of nectar they enjoy inner bliss.



    26. Tvamarkas tvam somas
    tvamasi pavanas tvam hutavahas
    Tvamapas tvam vyoma
    tvamu dharanir atma tvamiti ca,
    Paricchinnam evam
    tvayi parinata bibhratu giram
    Na vidmas tat tattvam
    vayamiha tu yat tvam na bhavasi.


    The wise hold this limiting view of You: You are the sun, You are the moon, You are fire, You are air, You are water, You are space, You are the earth and You are the Self. But we do not know the things which You are not.



    27. Trayim tisro vrttis
    tribhuvana matho trinapi sura
    Nakaradyair varnais
    tribhir abhi dadhat tirnavikrti,
    Turiyam te dhama
    dhvanibhi rava rundhana manubhih
    Samastam vyastam tvam
    Saranada grnat yomiti padam.


    0 Giver of refuge, with the three letters A, U, M, indicating the three Vedas, three states, three worlds and the three gods, the word AUM(Om) describes You separately. By its subtle sound the word Om collectively denotes You - Your absolute transcendental state which is free from change.



    28. Bhavah sarvo rudrah
    pasupati rathograh sahamahan
    -Statha bhime sanav
    iti yadabhi dhana stakam idam,
    Amusmin pratyekam
    pravicarati deva srutirapi
    Priyayasmai dhamne
    pravihita namasyo'smi bhavate.


    O Lord! Bhava, Sharva, Rudra, Pashupati, Ugra, Mahadeva, Bhima, and Ishana-these eight names of Yours are each treated in detail in the Vedas. To You, most beloved Lord Shankara, of resplendent form, I offer salutations.


    29. Namo nedisthaya
    priyadava davistaya ca namo
    Namah ksodisthaya
    smarahara mahisthaya ca namah
    Namo varsisthaya
    Trinayana yavisthaya ca namo
    Namah sarvasmai te
    tadida matisarvaya ca namah.

    0 Lover of solitude, my salutations to You who are the nearest and the farthest. 0 Destroyer of the god of love, my salutations to You who are the minutest and also the largest. 0 Three-eyed one, my salutations to You who are the oldest and also the youngest. My salutations to You again and again who are all and also transcending all.


    30. Bahala rajase visvot pattau
    bhavaya namo namah
    Prabala tamase tat sanhare
    haraya namo namah,
    Jana sukhakrte sattvo driktau
    mrdaya namo namah
    Pramahasi pade nis traigunye
    sivaya namo namah.


    Salutations to You as Brahma in whom rajas prevails for the creation of the universe. Salutations to You as Rudra in whom tamas prevails for its destruction. Saluta­tions to You as Vishnu in whom sattva prevails for giving happiness to the people. Salutations to You, 0 Shiva, who are effulgent and beyond the three attributes.

Saluta­tions to You as Vishnu in whom sattva prevails for giving happiness to the people. Salutations to You, 0 Shiva, who are effulgent and beyond the three attributes.


    31. Krsa parinati cetah klesa vasyam kva cedam
    Kva ca tava gunasimollanghini sasva drddhih,
    Iti cakita mamandi krtya mam bhakti radhad
    Varada caranayo ste vakya puspo paharam.

    0 Giver of boons, how poor is my ill-developed mind, subject to afflictions, and how boundless Your divinity- Eternal and possessing infinite virtues. Though terror—stricken because of this, I am inspired by my devotion to offer this hymnal garland at Your feet.


    32. Asita giri samam syat kajjalam sindhu patre
    Sura taruvara sakha lekhani patra murvi,
    Likhati yadi grhitva sarada sarva kalam
    Tadapi tava gunanam isa paramit na yati.

    0 Lord, if the black mountain be ink, the ocean the inkpot, the branch of the stout wish-fulfilling tree a pen, the earth the writing leaf, and if taking these the Goddess ofLearning writes for eternity, even then the limit of Your virtues will not be reached.


    33. Asura sura munindrair arcita syendu mauler
    Grathita guna mahimno nirguna syesvarasya,
    Sakala gana varisthah puspa danta bhidhano
    Rucira malaghu vrttaih stotra metac cakara.

    The best of Gandharvas, Pushpadanta by name, composed in great devotion this beautiful hymn to the Lord, who is worshipped by demons, gods, and the best of sages, whose praises have been sung, who has the moon on His forehead, and who is attributeless.


    34. Ahara harana vadyam dhurjateh stotra metat
    Pathati paramabhaktya suddhacittah pumanyah.
    Sa bhavati sivaloke rudra tulya stathatra
    Pracuratara dhanayuh putravan kirtimansca.

    The person who with purified heart and in great devotion always reads this beautiful and elevating hymn to Shiva, becomes like Shiva (after death) in the abode of Shiva, and while in this world gets abundant wealth, long life, progeny and fame.
    35. Mahesan naparo devo
    mahimno napara stutih,
    Aghoran naparo mantro
    nasti tattvam guroh param.

    There is no God higher than Shiva, there is no hymn better than the hymn on the greatness of Shiva, there is no mantra more powerful than the name of Shiva, there is nothing higher to be known than the real nature of the Guru.
    36. Diksa danam tapas tirtham
    yoga yaga dikah kriyah,
    Mahimnah stava pathasya
    kalam narhanti sodasim

    Initiation into spiritual life, charities, austerities, pilgrimages, practice of yoga, performance of sacrificial rites - none of these give even a sixteenth part of the merit that one gets by reciting the hymn on the greatness of Shiva.

    37. Kusuma dasana nama sarva gandharva rajah
    Sisu sasadhara mauler deva devasya dasah

    Sa khalu nija mahimno bhrasta evasya rosat

    Stavanamidamakarsid divya divyam mahimnah.

    The Lord of Gandharvas, Pushpadanta by name, is the servant of the God of gods who has the crescent moon on his forehead. Fallen from his glory due to the wrath of the Lord, he composed this very beautiful uplifting hymn on the greatness of Shiva to regain His favour.

    38. Suravaramuni pujyam svargamoksaikahetum
    Pathati yadi manusyah pranjalir nanyacetah,
    Vrajati siva samipam kinnaraih stuyamanah
    Stavanamidamamogham puspadanta pranitam.

    If one with single-minded devotion and folded palms reads this unfailing hymn composed by Pushpadanta, which is adored by great gods and the best of sages and which grants heaven and liberation, one goes to Shiva and is worshipped by Kinnaras (celestial beings).


    39. Asamapta midam stotram
    punya gandharva bhasitam,
    Anaupamyam manohari
    siva misvara varnanam.

    Thus ends this unparalleled sacred hymn composed by Pushpadanta and describing the glory of God Shiva in a most fascinating manner.



    40. Ityesa vanmayi puja
    Srimac chankara padayoh,
    Arpita tena dcvesah,
    Priyatam me sadasivah.

    This hymnal worship is offered at the feet of Shiva. May the ever beneficent Lord of gods be pleased with me at this!


    41. Tav tatva na janami
    Kidrasdasi maheswar

    Yadrashosi mahadev
    Tadrashay namo namah


    42. Eak kalam dwikalam wa
    Trikalam yah pathennarah
    Sarva papa vinirmuktah
    Shivloke mahiyate


    43 . Sri puspadanta mukha parikaja nirgatena
    Stotrena kilbisa harena hara priyena,
    Kanthas thitena pathitena samahitena
    Suprinito bhavati bhutapatir mahesah.
    If a person learns by heart and recites this hymn, which flowed from the lotus mouth of Pushpadanta, which destroys sins and is dear to Shiva and which equally promotes the good of all, Shiva, the Lord of creation, becomes very pleased.


    43. Om Mahadeva Shiva Shankara Shambho
    Umakanta Hara Tripurare
    Mrituewnjaya vrishabhadhwaja shoolina Gangadhar mrud madanare
    Hara Shiva Shankar Gaurisham
    Kalaye Kaashipuri naatham

    Jaya Shambho, Jaya Shambho
    Shiva Gauri Shankar Jaya Shambho

    This I is unlimited sadasiva, the Supreme Lord

    Mahanarayana Upanishad (ekavi.nsho.anuvaakaH)
    .
    iishaanaH sarvavidyaanaamiishvaraH sarvabhuutaanaaM
    brahmaadhipatirbrahmaNo.adhipatirbrahmaa shivo me astu sadaashivom.h


    XXI-1: May the Supreme Lord who is the ruler of all knowledge, controller of all created beings, the preserver of the Vedas and the one overlord of Hiranyagarbha, be auspicious to me. I am the Sadasiva described thus and denoted by Pranava.


    .
    “Yajur Veda iv. 4. 8.

    (Thou “I” art) all overcoming through Agni; self-ruling through the sun; lord of strength through might; creator with the bull; bountiful through the sacrifice; heavenly through the sacrificial fee; slayer of enemies through rage; supporter of the body through kindliness; wealth through food; through the earth he hath won; (thou art) eater of food with verses; increased by the Vasat cry; protector of the body through the Saman; full of light with the Viraj; drinker of Soma through the holy power; with cows he supporteth the sacrifice; with lordly power men; with horse and car bearer of the bolt; lord with the seasons; enclosing with the year; unassailable through penance; the sun with bodies.”


    YV iv. 4. 9.


    (Thou art) Prajapati in mind, when come to the Soma;
    the creator in the consecration; Savitr in the bearing;
    Pusan in the cow for the purchase of the Soma;
    Varuna when bound (in the cloth); Asura in the being bought;
    Mitra when purchased; Çipivista when put in place;
    delighter of men when being drawn forward; the overlord on arrival;
    Prajapati being led on; Agni at the Agnidh’s altar;
    Brhaspati on being led from the Agnidh’s altar;
    Indra at the oblation-holder; Aditi when put in place;
    Visnu when being taken down; Atharvan when made wet;
    Yama when pressed out; drinker of unpurified (Soma) when being cleansed;
    Vayu when purifying; Mitra as mixed with milk;
    the Manthin when mixed with groats; that of the All-gods when taken out;
    Rudra when offered;
    Vayu when covered up; the gazer on men when revealed;
    the food when it comes; the famed of the fathers;
    life when taken; the river when going to the final bath;
    the ocean when gone; the water when dipped;
    the heaven when arrived at completion.

    10.092.09 Address praise today with reverence to Rudra the powerful destroyer of the heroes, (who is accompanied) by the mounted (Maruts), the granters of wishes, together with whom he, Shiva, possessing kinsmen, besprinkles (the worshippers) from heaven.


    10.092.10 Inasmuch as (te ih) Br.haspati, the showerer (of benefits) and the kindred of Soma (the Visvedeva_s), bestow food (for the support) of people, Atharvan was the first to invigorate (the gods) with sacrifices; with strength the gods and Bhr.gus discovered (the cattle).


    10.092.11 Inasmuch as (te ih) the heaven and earth, abounding with waters, the Nara_s'am.sa rite with its four fires, Yama, Aditi, the divine Tvas.t.a_, (Agni) the giver of wealth, the R.bhus, Rodasi_, the Maruts, and Vis.n.u are worshipped (by us).
