Today, we read from the Atharva Veda a hymn of a single verse praising Rudra-Shiva. Rudra dwells within the fire, within the waters, within herbs and plants. He has formed and fashioned these worlds. He is Agni, the fire of consciousness within! He is transcendent and immanent.
Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya!
To Rudra in the fire, to Him who dwells in floods, to Rudra who hath entered into herbs and plants,
To Him who formed and fashioned all these worlds, to Him this Rudra, yea, to Agni, reverence be paid!
To Him who formed and fashioned all these worlds, to Him this Rudra, yea, to Agni, reverence be paid!
