Vedic Origin of 艢颈惫补 In Vedic days 艢颈惫补 was called Rudra. From very ancient times 艢颈惫补 was worshipped as the Supreme God. The 艢补颈惫补 Cult, is devoted to worship of the god 艢颈惫补. The word 艢颈惫补 is an adjective meaning kind, friendly, gracious, or auspicious. As a proper name it means 鈥淭he Auspicious One鈥�, used as a euphemistic name for Rudra.^[1] In the 峁欢惫别诲补 Rudra is mentioned as the fearful and vengeful God. He is also described as the god of sickness, disease, death, destruction and calamity.^[2] In the 艢补迟补谤补诲谤墨测补 of the Yajurveda there is an invocation offered to the god Agni to avert his wrath and pacify him after he transforms himself into Rudra. The hymn depicts him both as terrifying and pleasing. The prayer is offered to Rudra to bring health and prosperity to the people as a divine physician and also to save them from his own wrath. He is eulogized as lord of all beings.^[3] The term 艢颈惫补 was first mentioned in the 艢耻办濒补 yajurveda. The Atharvaveda has more references to this God suggestive of his growing popularity. Rudra is implored not to harm the cattle and the people.^[4] In the Atharvaveda as well as the Yajurveda, 艢颈惫补 is addressed variously as 艢补谤惫补, Bhava, N墨laka峁囜弓a, 笔补艣耻辫补迟颈, 狈墨濒补驳谤墨惫补, 艢颈迟颈办补峁囜弓丑补 etc.^[5] The 艢atapatha Br膩hma峁嘺 mentions eight names of Rudra. In one place he is mentioned as Rudra-艢颈惫补. In some cases he is also identified with Agni. This work explains how 艢颈惫补 got his name as Rudra.^[6] The two great epics of India, the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 and the 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, deal extensively with stories of 艢颈惫补.^[7]
