Shiva’s is Aumkara, source of the Vedas his three eyes as Agni Surya and Soma are the main Vedic Devatas Rudra/Shiva personifies the Vedic Yajna, which is outwardly ritual and inwardly Yoga.oṃ tryámbakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhíṃ puṣṭi-vardhánam
urvārukam íva bandhánān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā 'mṛtā́t
From Rig Veda Book 7
And they said there is no Shiva in Rig Veda
The Shri-Rudram hymn (also known as Śatarudrīya) found in the Taittareya rescission of the Yajur Veda Samhita, is chanted by devout Shaivites to this day, in just about every other Shiva temple.
Rudram hymn’s description of Shiva is very much in line with later Puranic conception of this Bhagwaan.
