 16. Hari made the eleven Rudras occupy the frontline going ahead as they possessed the essence of the heroism and power of penance of all the worlds. 

17_24. They assumed the Alidha 1 posture.

  1. Those great gods- were very powerful. 
  2. Their necks were blue. 
  3. They applied Tripundra (‘three parallel lines of sacred ash’) on their foreheads and the crescent moon on their crests. 
  4. They were tawny-eyed and wielded spears in their hands. 
  5. Their lofty matted hair was tawny-coloured. 
  6. They wore lion’s hide (as dress). 
  7. Those (gods)' with terrible arms, besmeared their bodies with sacred ash. 

Those Rudras beginning with Kapallsa had routed great Asuras (formerly in battles). They were:

  1. Kapali, 
  2. Pingala, 
  3. Bhima, 
  4. Virupaksa, 
  5. Vilohita, 
  6. Ajaka, 
  7. §asana, 
  8. Sasta, 
  9. Sambhu, 
  10. Canda and
  11. Bhava. 

These eleven Rudras of infinite strength and superhuman power protected Devas roaring like rumbling clouds.
