11 RUDRA AVTAARS OF SHIVA
At the beginning of universe Vishnu ji had requested Shiv ji to be born as Avtatar, which he accepted. But replied that he would come in the form of Rudra whenever the need arose.
As the demons started becoming powerful, The devta's were worried. As per Shivpuran the devta's asked Kashyap rishi to help them. He advised them to pray to Shivji with their spouses which he too would be practising.
Shiva being Ashutosh(one who gets pacified soon) appeared before Kashyap and granted him the boon that he would take birth as Kashyap and Surabhi's son by divine intervention bringing cheers amongst the devta's. He took eleven forms and was named by kashyap as follows:-
1)कपाली,
2)पिंगल,
3)भीम,
4)नीललोहित,
5)शस्त्रभृत,
6)अभय,
7)अजपाद,
8)अहिर्बुध्न,
9)शंभू,
10)भवन और
11)विरूपाक्ष.
Again when there was a conflict between devtas and demons,devtas had to take help from Rudra to defeat demons.
