Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
रुद्रो रोषात्मको जातो दशान्यान् सो5सृजत् स्वयम् । एकादशैते रुद्रास्तु विकारपुरुषा: स्मृता:
rudro roṣātmako jāto daśānyān so 'sṛjat svayam | ekādaśaite rudrās tu vikārapuruṣāḥ smṛtāḥ ||
ବ୍ରହ୍ମାଙ୍କ ରୋଷରୁ ରୋଷାତ୍ମକ ରୁଦ୍ର ଜନ୍ମିଲେ। ସେ ନିଜେ ଦଶ ଅନ୍ୟ ରୁଦ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ସୃଷ୍ଟି କଲେ। ଏହିପରି ଏହି ଏକାଦଶ ରୁଦ୍ର ‘ବିକାରପୁରୁଷ’ ବୋଲି ସ୍ମୃତ।

Educational Q&A
The verse frames wrath as a potent, world-shaping force: when anger arises at a cosmic level it can generate powerful manifestations. Ethically, it cautions that uncontrolled roṣa (anger) multiplies and transforms situations, producing further disruptive energies.
Vaiśampāyana describes a cosmogonic episode: Rudra arises as the embodiment of Brahmā’s wrath and then creates ten additional Rudras, forming the traditional set of eleven, characterized as vikāra-puruṣas—manifest beings representing transformative modifications.
