THE WIELDER OF THUNDERBOLTS!
Perhaps that is why He allowed stories about Himself to be floated and rumoured among the city people. It did not trouble Him at all that tales about ‘The Terrible Rudra’ abounded. This was quite in character with society: If you were not present in its midst, you became the subject of talk. If you were not present to affirm or deny what was being said, anything could be said about you! Society relished rumours, and Rudra was a favourite in fuelling their imagination.One rumour in particular, had been blown quite thunderously out of proportion: ‘Rudra left Brahma’s palace and joined the forest creatures, because He discovered one day that He was some kind of secret creature He, is not human! He has unspeakable magic powers, which he uses to control all the denizens of the forests from atop a mountain. He, is the wielder of thunderbolts in an angry sky.’
Rudra actually laughed at the thought of people imagining Him like that.
