Rudra represents one aspect of Shiva, Destruction and this is eveident from the first sentence from the Sri Rudram.
Om Namao Bhagavathe Rudraaya,
Namsthe Rudramanyave'
My prostrations to Rudra,
My prostraions to His anger"
Implied is the fact that anger leads to desruction.
Whether Adi Shankaracharya is the incarnation of Lord Shiva is point left alone.
There are some who dispute it.
However what one can not dare to deny the fact that He was an intellectual Giant ..
Shankaracharya was engaged in an argument with Buddhists on Reality and the nature of the world.
The main pivot of Shankaracharya's Philosophy rests on His assertion that Permanence is Real and Change is Illusory.
For the Buddhists, Change alone is permanent and there is no Permanence
Totally diametrically opposite point views.
Buddhists argue with Shankaracharya thus.
Take a Candle.
It lights up the area surrounding it.
It releases Energy, and loses Energy every micro second.
