RUDRA, "a storm god and embodiment of wildness and unpredictable danger." (p. 338)FROM THE RIG VEDA:
   "The fierce, tawny god of many forms has adorned his firm limbs with shimmering gold. Never let the Asura power draw away from Rudra, the ruler of this vast world.   Rightly you carry the arrows and bow; rightly you wear the precious golden necklace shaped with many forms and colours; rightly you extend this terrible power over everything. There is nothing more powerful than you, Rudra.
Praise him, the famous young god who sits on the high seat, the fierce one who attacks like a ferocious wild beast. O Rudra, have mercy on the singer, now that you have been praised. Let your armies strike down someone other than us." (p. 222)
