Surabhi
The Matsya Purana notes that Surabhi – the mother of all cows and the "cow of plenty" – was the consort of Brahma and their union produced the eleven Rudras. Here they are named
- Nirṛti
- Śambhu
- Aparājita
- Mṛgavyādha
- Kapardin
- Dahana
- Khara
- Manas
- Ahirbudhnya
- Kapālin
- Piṅgala
- Senāni
The Harivamsa, an appendix of the Mahabharata, makes Kashyapa and Surabhi – here, portrayed as his wife – the parents of the Rudras.
