Eleven Rudras

Bhishma said thus: “O Dharmaja!

In the past, Visvakarma performed great Tapas and

1. created Surabhi(sacred cow) as his brain child. 
2. Then Visvakarma created another glorious man. 
3. Brahma named him as Marthanda and performed his marriage with Surabhi and blessed both of them. 
4. Cows were born to both of them. 
5. Both divine bodies and human bodies were worshipping cows. Cows also were accomplishing the desires of divine bodies and human beings.”

“O grand sire! you told me that Marthanda married Surabhi. Tell me about their children. Who were born first?” asked Dharmaja.

“O Dharmaja! first, eleven sons were born. They are Ekadasa Rudras. They are:

(1)Ajapada,
(2) Ahirbudhnyudu,
(3)Triyambaka
(4)Vrushakapi
(5)Sambhu
(6)Hara
(7)Bahuroopa
(8)Ugra
(9)Visvaroopa
(10)Kapaali
(11)Raivata.

All these eleven Rudras were worshipped by the entire world. After the eleven Rudras, Surabhi gave birth to several cows. All the divine bodies reside in several parts of the cow.

Therefore, the glory of cow is indescribable.
