The eighteenth name is the eleven Rudras.
Rudra means “the roaring” or “the red”; in the Ṛg-veda he is the dread deity of the storm and at the same time a healer, from whom remedies are asked.
The eleven Rudras the Bṛhadāraṇyaka explains thus: the ten breaths in a man and the eleventh — himself; when they depart, those who remain weep, and hence they are called “the ones who make weep”.
This explanation is worth remembering, because it sets the Rudras not in heaven but in the body.
Note that the twelfth paragraph of the first Upaniṣad of this book gave a whole paragraph to the names of Rudra, taken from the Mahānārāyaṇa and the Śvetāśvatara. The litany adds eleven more to them.
