There are eleven Rudras, of whom Śaṅkara, Lord Śiva, is predominant. He is the incarnation of the Supreme Lord in charge of the mode of ignorance in the universe. The leader of the Yakṣas and Rākṣasas is Kuvera, the master treasurer of the demigods, and he is a representation of the Supreme Lord. Meru is a mountain famed for its rich natural resources.

Rudrasid on kokku üksteist, kellest Śaṅkara, Śiva, on kõrgeim. Ta on Kõigekõrgema Jumala ekspansioon, kes vastutab universumis teadmatuse guṇa eest. Yakṣade ja Rākṣasate juhiks on Kuvera, pooljumalate vara valitseja, kes on Kõigekõrgema Jumala esindaja. Meru on mägi, mis on kuulus rikkalike maavarade poolest.
