None of the mantra-s in the rudra-prashna can be interpreted as asking shiva to go away. In fact the relevant portion of the mantra is namo vastupaaya ca. As per the bhaashhya, vaastu is gR^iha-nirmaaNaartha bhuumiH ; vaastupaH is tatpaalkaH - protector of the vaastu. It is the propitiation of rudra in his manifestation as vaastu-purushha that is meant while reciting the namakam, and not asking him to go away ! The other attendant rituals when a vaastu- shaanti is done are meant for driving away unwanted spirits like bhuuta-preta-pishaca-adi. > Om Vastoshpataye namah I am eager to know where this naama occurs in this form. I do not find it in the shatarudriiya,or shiva sahasra naama. One more question, Jaladharji. How are you choosing the eleven names of shiva bhagavan ? Is it at random or in any particular order ?
