In the 峁欢惫别诲补, Rudra is addressed as 艢惫颈迟墨肠^[1] which is illustrated by S膩ya峁嚹乧膩rya as:

艣惫颈迟墨肠e 艣vaityama帽cate.^[2]

The word 艣惫颈迟墨肠 reflects the white colour of Rudra. In the 艢补迟补谤耻诲谤颈测补 section of the 痴腻箩补蝉补苍别测颈蝉补峁僪颈迟腻, Rudra is mentioned as 艢颈迟颈办补峁囜弓丑补 or white-throated.^[3] 惭补丑墨诲丑补谤补 remarks in this context that since he (Rudra) drank poison, his neck became blue in colour. The commentator also said that 艣颈迟颈岣� means 艣惫别迟补 and besides this blue portion of his neck, rest of the portion is white in colour.^[4] In the Pur膩峁噄c literature, lord 艢颈惫补 is depicted as 艢颈迟颈办补峁囜弓丑补.^[5] In the 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, M膩h膩deva is called 艢颈迟颈办补峁囜弓丑补.^[6]

The Pur膩峁噄c Encyclopaedia mentioning the reference of the 础苍耻艣腻蝉补苍补辫补谤惫补 of the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 stated that 艢颈惫补, becoming angry, threw his 迟谤颈艣奴濒补 into the sacrifice. After destroying the sacrifice his 迟谤颈艣奴濒补 hit 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺. 艢颈惫补 rushed towards 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺. Then 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺 held 艢颈惫补鈥檚 throat with his hands. As a result of that 艢颈惫补鈥檚 throat became dark blue in colour. From that day, he is known as 艢颈迟颈办补峁囜弓丑补.^[7]
