yad arodih sura-srestha

 sodvega iva balakah

tatas tvam abhidhasyanti

 namna rudra iti prajah

 

Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

Thereafter Brahma said: O chief of the demigods, you shall be called by the name Rudra by all people because you have so anxiously cried.
