Questions and Answers

की पौराणिक परंपराओं में शिव के लिए प्रयुक्त एक नाम है (पहली सहस्त्राब्दि ईसवी में अध्याय 4 भी देखिए)। लेकिन शिव के विपरीत रुद्र को ऋग्वेद में न तो पशुपति (सामान्य रूप से जानवरों और विशेष रूप से मवेशियों के स्वामी) और न ही एक योगी के रूप में दिखाया गया है। दूसरे शब्दों में, यह चित्रण ऋग्वेद में दिए गए रुद्र के विवरण से मेल नहीं खाता। फिर क्या यह कोई शमन था, जैसा कि कुछ विद्वानों ने सुझाया है?
