Rudrashtadhyayi is a compilation of eight chapters of Vedic hymns dedicated to Rudra (Shiva), drawn from the Shukla Yajurveda, published with Hindi translation (sanuwad) by Gita Press, Gorakhpur.

The text includes the Rudri hymns central to the Rudrabhishek ritual, and per publisher listings this edition also includes the procedure for Abhishek Pooja (ritual bathing of the Shiva lingam), making it a combined text-and-procedure resource for this specific worship.

Usage: This book is used both for chanting the Rudri hymns during an abhishek and as a step-by-step reference for the accompanying puja procedure, generally used by a priest or a knowledgeable householder conducting the ritual.

Ritual/Occasion Context: Rudrashtadhyayi recitation is traditionally central to Rudrabhishek, a ritual bathing of the Shiva lingam performed on occasions such as Maha Shivratri, the month of Shravan, and other Shiva-related observances.
