  • The Rudrastakam is a Sanskrit composition in devotion of Rudra, composed by the Hindu Bhakti poet Tulsidas. Tulsidas composed in the late fifteenth century Uttar Pradesh of India and created many other literary pieces including the magnum opus Ram Charit Manas. The devotional hymn "Rudrastakam" appears in the Uttara Kand of the celebrated Ram Charit Manas, where demon King Ravana composed the hymn to propitiate Lord Shiva. The Astakam is in reverence to Rudra, though the context pertains to the Shiva, the post-Vedic transformation of Rudra. It is arguable that the distinction between Rudra and Shiva was already lost by the time of Tulsidas. The Rudrastakam is lucid and simple in style and plays an instrumental role in the Shaiva traditions.
