Thank you Babaji!

Decided to do a web search on the Devi Bhagavatam.

There are many sites where it can be purchased.

I also stumbled upon this!

Om Namah Shivaya

The Mala (rosary) of Lord Shiva's is made from the Rudraksha beads. The Siva

Purana (25th chapter) describes Lord Siva, the Yogeshwar (master of Yoga),

meditating for thousands of years for the benefit of people everywhere.

According to the legend, when Siva opened his eyes, some tear-drops fell on

earth and grew into Rudraksha trees. These trees grow in several parts of

India.

 

Both the Siva Mahapurana and the Devi Bhagavatam describe Rudraksha beads as

highly auspicious. The mere looking at Rudraksha beads creates

auspiciousness. Touching the Rudraksha beads multiplies the auspiciousness

manifold, and the wearing of Rudraksha Mala (rosary) augurs almost continuous

flow of auspiciousness.

 

Rudraksha beads are found with from one eye to up to fourteen eyes or

fourteen sided beads. Their medicinal and other uses are specific to how many

sides there are on the beads. For example:

 

One sided Rudraksha bead is producer of worldly happiness and liberation,

producer of wealth, destroyer of obstacles and problems, fulfiller of wishes

and highly effective in tuberculosis type of diseases.

 

Two sided Rudraksha bead helps to increase mental powers, calms agitated

minds, helps to overcome Tamasic Guna.

 

Three sided Rudraksha bead helps in acquiring knowledge and skills, helps

increase digestive power, effective in reducing fever and in eye diseases.

 

Four sided Rudraksha bead works wonders in increasing memory, especially

helpful to those with weak memory. Also improves power of speech. The

procedure is to drink for twenty days, milk boiled with Rudraksha beads.
