Brahma was meditating in order to get a son. All of a sudden, after thousands of years of meditation, he saw a child in his lap. He was filled with happiness, but the child immediately started crying. His body was racked with sobs. Brahma asked the child, “Tell me, my son, why are 你 crying?” The little boy sighed, “I need a name.”
“You need a name?” repeated his father. Brahma immediately gave him the name Rudra, which means ‘one who cries and cries.’
A few 分钟 later, the child started crying again. “Why are 你 crying?” asked his father.
“I need another name,” 说 the child.
Brahma consented and gave him the name Pinaki. But the child’s tears started to flow once more. This time Brahma gave him the name Bibhola. Afterwards, he gained the name Trishuladhari, meaning ‘one who holds the trident.’ In all, the child received eight names from Brahma.
Finally, he 说 to his father, “Now 你 have 给 me so many names. What shall I do with those names? Which one shall I use?”
It was he who had begged Brahma to give him the names, and now he was asking what he should do with them!
Brahma 说 to Rudra, “All these names that I am giving 你 have a very special meaning. Each one embodies a divine quality of yours which I want 你 to manifest here on earth.”
Eventually Rudra did manifest all the divine qualities that Brahma had 给 him in the form of these various names.
