Meaning:

The one who rules / takes care of all the numerous universes around

The one who is whole. The one who is responsible / reason for the world. The one who is liked by the truthful gods.

The one who stands as the real juice / meaning of Vedas. The one who is always present in the pure Havens.

The unshakable / stable one. The one who destroys all the bad people. The one who protects the seven worlds.

The one who has eyes as the Moon, the Sun and the fire - Siva's three eyes are referred here. The one who has his vahana(vehicle) asthe white bull.

One who has the Trishoola – the iron rod with three sharp ends. The one who wears a snake. The one who destroyed the three demons who had three types of forts (the thripuras) and who danced on the debris after destroying them.

The one whose hair is the sky/ eternal space.The progenitor of Mahasena (Mahasena is a name of Subrahmanya). . . The one with five faces. The one with axe in hand. I bow.

The one who knows all the three forms of time (past, present and the future). The one with three eyes. The one with the trishoola.

The one who is like the flow of truth. The one who glows with sacred light. The one with the form of the sacred hymns.

The one who is beyond the sphere of multiplicity. The one who is beyond all filth (the one who is pure). The one who is the real complete whole.

The one who is to be seized (by devotees). The one who is ever Brahman (the whole). The one who is present in our dreams.

The one who is the proof of the being and the awareness. The one who is the object of knowledge.

This soul is the Brahman. I am Brahman (Brahman here is the ultimate god who is in everyone and who made everything).

The one who resides in the sound of thousand bells

The one who resides in the sound of the hand drum (Siva carries a small hand drum).

These form the crux of Sri Rudra, a powerful set of hymns about Lord Siva, present in the Yajur vedha. There is a famous theory about Sri Rudra given by the paramaacharya of kanchi, Sri Chandrasekarend ra Saraswathi Sankaracharya swami. Generally Vedas are referred as 3 (trayee Veda). The Yajur Veda is in the middle. If we check what’s found in the middle of Yajur Veda, it’s the Rudra hymns. They are present in the fourth chapter of the total seven chapters. If we further ponder in to what’s found in the middle of Rudra, it’s the Name of lord Siva – famously called Siva Panchakshari (the 5 letters – Om nama Sivaya – in Sanskrit – given in the last line of the above present manthras). Hence, the hymns are very pious and should be treated with respect.
