Sri Rudram ((サンスクリット:श्री रुद्रम्)), to which the Chamakam ((サンスクリット:चमकम्)) is added by scriptural tradition, is a Hindu stotra, hymn dedicated to Rudra (an epithet of Shiva), taken from the Yajurveda (TS 4.5, 4.7).〔For an overview of the Śatarudriya see: Kramrisch, pp. 71-74.〕〔For a full translation of the complete hymn see: Sivaramamurti (1976)〕 Shri Rudram is also known as ''Sri Rudraprasna'', ', and ''Rudradhyaya''. The text is important in Saivism where Shiva is viewed as the Supreme God. The hymn is an early example of enumerating the names of a deity,〔For the as an early example of enumeration of divine names, see: Flood (1996), p. 152.〕 a tradition developed extensively in the sahasranama literature of Hinduism. By the first few centuries CE, the recitation of the ' is claimed, in the '' Upanishad'', to lead to immortality.〔Jab. U. 3.66 cited by: Flood (1996), p. 152.〕 The hymn is referred to in the Shiva Purana.〔For mentions in the Shiva Purana see: Flood (1996), p. 152.〕 The text is also famous for its mention of the Shaivite Panchakshara ("five-syllable") mantra (Sanskrit: ), which appears in the text of the ' in the eighth anuvaka.〔For notability and text ' see: Sivaramamurti, pp. 1, 24.〕 The text also contains the mantra ''Aum Namah Bhagavathe Rudraya''. Through the chanting of Sri Rudram, Lord Siva's various attributes and aspects are invoked and worshipped. Chanting the Rudram is considered to be of great benefit. The Rudram chanting can be done with or without the accompaniment of a Vedic yagna ritual. When accompanied with the Vedic fire ritual, it is called the Rudra Yagnam. It is said that Lord Shiva, after Bhasmasura was killed with the help of Lord Maha Vishnu, performed the Tandava Dance and then performed the "Rudra Yagna" for the betterment of humanity. The place where the Rudra Yagna was performed is where the "Sri Kalahasti" Temple stands now; this temple also has one of the 5 (Pancha bhootha - Vayu, Agni, Jala, Akash, Prithvi) lingas called Vayu linga. ==Text== It consists of two texts from book four of the Taittiriya Samhita (TS 4.5, 4.7), which is a recension of the Krishna Yajurveda. ''Shri Rudram'' or the ''Namakam'' (chapter five) describes the name or epithets of Rudra, which represent his aspects. Additionally, the devotee asks for the benevolent aspect of Shiva to be invoked rather than the terrible aspect and requests forgiveness of sins. The ''Chamakam'' (chapter seven) asks for the fulfilment of wishes. Each part consist of eleven ''anuvaka'' or hymns. Traditionally Rudra is assigned the number 11, and among the thirty three deities of the Vedic pantheon, eleven are considered forms of Rudra. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shri Rudram Chamakam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
