The Ardra Legend
Rudra is Shiva's wrathful storm form. One day he wandered unrecognized through Brahma's palace and began to weep. Brahma asked "why do you cry?" Rudra said "I have no name, no identity." Brahma gave him eight names — Ardra was one of them. It means "moist eye." The storm's tear both destroys and cleanses; both pain and purification.
