Rudra is a form of Shiv born from the rage of Lord Brahma. He was angry as Narad had distracted Sanat-Kumar from creating srishti as Brahma had instruced them to do so. They chose penance instead of marridge and went to the woods. From Brahma's frown appeared Rudra, Bluish-Red (NeelaLohita)
half-male, half-female and was intructed to seperate. He seperated the female and she is Adi-Shakti. Rudra, further divided himself into 11 forms, some fierce and some calm.
They are called :
Manyu
Manu
Mahmasa
Mahan
Shiva
Ritudhvaja
Ugraretas
Bhava
Kama
Vamadeva
Dhritavrata
From the woman were born the eleven Rudranis who became wives of the Rudras. They are:
In the beginning of the Kalp, as Brahmá purposed to create a son, who should be like himself, a youth of a purple complexion appeared, crying with a low cry, and running about. Brahmá, when he beheld him thus afflicted, said to him, "Why dost thou weep?" "Give me a name," replied the boy. "Rudra be thy name," rejoined the great father of all creatures: "be composed; desist from tears." But, thus addressed, the boy still wept seven times, and Brahmá therefore gave to him seven other denominations; and to these eight persons regions and wives and posterity belong. The eight manifestations, then, are named Rudra, Bhava, Śarva, Iśána, Paśupati, Bhíma, Ugra, and Mahádeva, which were given to them by their great progenitor. He also assigned to them their respective stations, the sun, water, earth, air, fire, ether, the ministrant Brahman, and the moon; for these are their several forms. The wives of the sun and the other manifestations, termed Rudra and the rest, were respectively, Suverchalá, Ushá, Vikesí, Sivá, Swáhá, Diśá, Díkshá, and Rohini.
