ॐ रुद्राय नमः।
विवेचन:
जो रौद्ररूप धारण करून अधर्माचा नाश करतो, तो रुद्रः. पापी प्रवृत्तींना हादरवून जागृती निर्माण करणारे त्याचे रूप प्रखर आहे. भयकारी वाटला तरी त्याच्या रौद्रतेतही अंतिम कल्याणच दडलेले असते.

भक्तांचे दुःख दूर करणारा.

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Theological nuance<br> Like ‘Śivaḥ’ (27) and ‘Śarvaḥ’ (26), the name ‘Rudraḥ’ appearing in the Vishnu Sahasranāma is significant. Viṣṇu as Rudraḥ is not to be confused with Rudra-Śiva (a separate deity), but affirms that the power of fierce transformation — the burning away of impurities — is ultimately Viṣṇu's energy. The Śiva-Viṣṇu ‘abheda’ (non-difference) teaching, found in the Śiva Purāṇa (‘"Śivaśca Nārāyaṇaḥ"‘) and in the Mahābhārata, is invoked here. Additionally, in the Bhāgavata Purāṇa (3.12.7–12), Śiva is described as having emerged from Brahmā's anger and being assigned the role of dissolution — but his power ultimately derives from Viṣṇu.
