These form the crux of Sri Rudhra, a powerful set of hymns about Lord Siva,
present in the Yajur vedha. There is a famous theory about Sri Rudhra given by
the paramaacharya of kanchi, Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi
Sankaracharya swami. Generally Vedhas are referred as 3 (trayee Veda). The
Yajur Veda is in the middle. If we check whats found in the middle of Yajur Veda,

its the Rudhra hymns. They are present in the fourth chapter of the total seven
chapters. If we further ponder in to whats found in the middle of Rudhra, its the
Name of lord Siva famously called Siva Panchakshari (the 5 letters Om nama
Sivaya in Sanskrit given in the last line of the above present manthras).
Hence, the hymns are very pious and should be treated with respect.
