Incarnation of Ekadasa Rudra / Eleven forms of Rudra story narrated in Srimad Bhagavatam:
As mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatham -
The anger is the same whether showed because of lack of
awareness or information. In spite of the fact that Brahma attempted to control
his outrage, he couldn't do as such, despite the fact that he is the
incomparable/ultimate being. Such outrage in its real nature originated from
between the eyebrows of Brahma as Rudra, in a blended shading of blue
(obliviousness) and red (enthusiasm), in light of the fact that outrage is the
result of energy and lack of awareness.
dhiya nigrihyamano 'pi
bhruvor madhyat prajapateh
sadyo 'jayata tan-manyuh
kumaro nila-lohitah
After birth all divine beings started crying for authorized
names and place.
sa vai ruroda devanam
purvajo bhagavan bhavah
namani kuru me dhatah
sthanani ca jagad-guro
The almighty Brahma, who was conceived from the lotus bloom,
assuaged the kid with delicate words, , and said that do not cry i will do as
you longing.
iti tasya vacah padmo
bhagavan paripalayan
abhyadhad bhadraya vaca
ma rodis tat karomi te
From that point Brahma said the ruler of demigods; you might
be called by the name Rudra by all individuals on the grounds that you have so fretfully
cried.
yad arodih sura-sreshtha
sodvega iva balakah
tatas tvam abhidhasyanti
namna rudra iti prajah
The creation of Rudra from between the eyebrows of Brahma
as the after effect of his annoyance, produced from the method of energy
incompletely touched by lack of awareness, is exceptionally noteworthy. In Bhagavad-gita (3.37) the rule of Rudra is depicted. Krodha (anger) is the
result of kama (desire), which is the consequence of the method of energy. At
the point when desire and craving are unsatisfied, the part of krodha shows up,
which is the impressive foe of the molded soul.
hrid indriyany asur vyoma
vayur agnir jalam mahi

sthanany agre kritani te
At the point when the Rudra standard is displayed by persons
who are not engaged with the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, the irate individual tumbles down from the top of his enhanced
position.

Ekadasa Rudras
The ten organs in the human body,
with the
prana as the tenth and the
atma as the eleventh. When they depart from
this mortal body, they make (one's relatives) weep. Because they then make them
weep, therefore they are called Rudras.
It is propitious to know the following passage from
Brihadaraynaka Upanishad:

Story of Ekadasa Rudra
Lord Brahma "The Creator of Universe" got to be unequipped for performing the Creation action. When he tumbled down
dead from fatigue, his body part and emerged in eleven structures through the grace
of Lord Rudra. These eleven structures are the "Ekadasa Rudras"according to vedic Scriptures.
This story is found in different vedic scriptures with a few variations.
On Brahma's request, Siva made the eleven Rudras from Brahma's forehead. On
seeing them, Brahma blacked out and these Rudras took up the Creation movement
from that point. Each Rudra made One Crore comparable Rudras. After Brahma woke
up from this daze.
Consequently, Lord
Siva requested the Rudras to stop the Creation action. He made a different
world for the Rudras and requesting that they go and live there.
The Linga that
the Rudras venerated is known as "Rudrakoteeswara". These Rudras are not venerated in the Idol structure.
Despite the fact that they are commonly adored as Eleven Lingas, in the Kanchi
Kailasanathar sanctuary, idols of Ekadasa Rudras can be found.
The name of these eleven rudra's are : Mahadeva, Shiva, Maha Rudra, Shankara, Neelaholita, Eshana
Rudra, Vijaya Rudra, Bheema Rudra, Devadeva, Bhavodbhava, Adityatmaka Rudra.
As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3. Chapter 12 - Lord Brahma said rudra also known by eleven other names Manyu,
Manu, Mahinasa, Mahan, Siva, Ritadhvaja, Ugrareta, Bhava, Kala, Vamadeva and
Dhritavrata.
Rudra also have eleven wives, called the Rudranis, and they
are Dhi, Dhriti, Rasala, Uma, Niyut, Sarpi, Ila, Ambika, Iravati, Svadha and
Diksha.
