तदाऽस्य कोपात्संजज्ञे स च रुद्रः प्रतापवान् । रोदनात्तस्य रुद्रत्वं संजातं परमेष्ठिनः ॥ २१.३ ॥
tadā ’sya kopāt saṃjajñe sa ca rudraḥ pratāpavān | rodanāt tasya rudratvaṃ saṃjātaṃ parameṣṭhinaḥ || 21.3 ||
ثم من غضبه وُلد رودرا، متلألئاً بالسطوة. وبسبب بكائه (رودانا) تَحقّق له الاسم والحال «رودرا»، إذ أخرجه باراميشثين، المُنْشِئ الأعلى.
