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 ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“由梵天之忿怒，鲁陀罗应运而生，具足猛烈之嗔。此鲁陀罗又自发化生十位鲁陀罗。于是共有十一鲁陀罗，被称为‘变异之人’（vikāra-puruṣa）——乃心与宇宙动荡之际所涌现的、炽烈而转化的力量之人格化。”

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.
