Other common major hymns are from Itihasas, eg., Vishnu Sahasranamam from Mahabaratha, or, from Puranas, e.g., Lalitha Sahasranamam from Brahmanda Puranam.  In content and format, there are lot of similarities between Sri Rudram and the other hymns like Vishnu Sahasranamam. Besides being a prayer, Sri Rudram is like an Upanishad that reveals the truth about Jiva - the Individual, jagat – the world, and Iswara - the Lord. With the help of the different names of the Lord, one can understand the nature of the Lord – hence, verily, Rudropanishad. Sri Rudram has 11 sections, or anuvakas.
