			{{Hindu mythology}}

	[[~~Satapatha Brahmana~~]] IX-1-1-6 ~~says :~~		=== Vedas ===
			The hymns of the [[Rigveda]] extol Manyu as the "slayer of foes", "self-existent", "wielder of the thunder", and "much-invoked". Manyu is identified with deities such as [[Indra]], [[Varuna]], and [[Agni]]. These hymns urge Manyu to grant treasure and wealth, strength in battles, and overwhelm the enemy with terror.<ref>{{Cite book \|last=Griffith \|first=Ralph T.

			The [[Brahma Purana]] describes the origin of Manyu. It states that a terrible war was once waged between the [[Deva (Hinduism)\|devas]] and the [[Asura\|asuras]], in which the former were defeated. The devas are stated to have travelled to the Gautamī river valley, where they performed a penance to propitiate [[Shiva]]. The destroyer deity is said to have produced Manyu from his third eye, and presented him to the devas. In the subsequent battle that followed, Manyu's assistance allowed the devas to gain victory.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=www.wisdomlib.org \|date=2015-07-28 \|title=Manyu: 15 definitions \|url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/manyu \|access-date=2022-11-11 \|website=www.wisdomlib.org \|language=en}}</ref>

==Identification of Manyu with Lord Rudra ==

[[Satapatha Brahmana]] IX-1-1-6 says :

''"From [[Prajapati]], when he had become enfeebled, the deities departed. Only one god, Manyu, did not leave him, but continued extended within him. He (Prajapati) wept. The tears which fell from him remained in that 'Manyu'. He became [[Rudra]] with a hundred heads, a hundred eyes, and a hundred quivers. Then the other drops which fell from him in unnumbered thousands entered into these worlds.They were called [[Rudras]] because they sprang from him when he had wept. This [[Rudra]] with a thousand heads, eyes, and quivers, stood with his bow strung,and arrows on the string, causing terror, and demanding food. The gods were afraid of him.

They collected for him this food, the satarudriya." ''<ref>Page 348,Original Sanskrit Texts VOL-IV,By J.Muir,Trubner &co,LONDON,1873</ref>

Later, all [[gods]],including [[Prajapati]] sang [[Rudram|Satarudriya]] hymns and appeased [[Rudra]]. [[Rudram|Satarudriyam]] begin with the words : ''"Namaste Rudra Manyava..... ( Salutations to thy anger O Rudra.... )''
