Rudra’s Wrath at Daksha’s Sacrifice and the Iconography of Kālarūpa through the Zodiac
कश्यपाद्याश्च ऋषयो जपन्तः शतरुद्रियम् पुष्पाञ्जलिपुटा भूत्वा प्रणताः संस्थिता मुने
kaśyapādyāśca ṛṣayo japantaḥ śatarudriyam puṣpāñjalipuṭā bhūtvā praṇatāḥ saṃsthitā mune
أيها الحكيم، إن كَشْيَپَة وسائر الرِّشي، وهم يرتّلون الشَّتَرودْرِيَّة (Śatarudrīya)، وقفوا وأكفّهم مقبوضة كوعاء لقرابين الزهور، منحنين بخشوع.

True reverence combines inner discipline (japa/recitation) with embodied humility (praṇāma) and offering (puṣpa-añjali), presenting devotion as a whole-person practice.
Primarily supports Dharma/ācāra exposition embedded in Purāṇic narrative (often adjacent to Sarga/Manvantara narration), showing authorized modes of worship by ṛṣis.
The Śatarudrīya functions as a bridge between Vedic revelation and Purāṇic devotion; ṛṣis offering flowers while chanting Rudra-hymns signals a synthesis where Vedic Śiva-praise is normative within a broader, non-sectarian sacred cosmos.
