Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Siva Purana (Vidyesvara Samhita) Translated by Shastri, 1973. 56 to 73: -------- 56. He shall be respected by the Gods and Asuras always. He shall be honoured like Siva. He removes the sin of anyone seen by him. 57. If a person is not liberated after meditation and acquisition of knowledge, he shall wear Rudraksa. He shall be freed from all sins and attain the highest goal. 58. A mantra repeated with Rudraksa is a crore times more efficacious. A man wearing Rudraksa derives a hundred million times more merit. 59. O Goddess, as long as the Rudraksa is on the person of a living soul he is least affected by premature death. 60. One shall attain Rudra on seeing a person with Tripunda, his limbs covered with Rudraksa and repeating the Mrtyunjay mantra. 61. He is a favourite of the five deities and a favourite of all gods. O beloved, a devotee shall repeat all mantras wearing a garland of Rudraksa (or counting on the beads). 62. Even the devotees of Visnu and other deities shall unhesitatingly wear the Rudraksa. Especially the devotee of Rudra shall wear Rudraksa always. 63. Rudraksas are of various types. I shall explain their different classifications. O Parvati, hear with great devotion. These Rudraksas bestow worldly pleasures and salvation. 64. A Rudraksa of single face is Siva Himself. It bestows worldly pleasures and salvation. The sin of Brahmin slaughter is washed off at its mere sight. 65. Where it is adored, fortune cannot be far off. Harms and harassment perish. All desires are fulfilled. 66. A Rudraksa with two faces is Isa, the Lord of Devas. It bestows the fulfillment of all desires. Especially that Rudraksa quickly quells the sin of cow-slaughter. 67. A Rudraksa with three faces always bestows means of enjoyment. As a result of its power all lores become firmly established. 68. A Rudraksa of four faces is Brahma Himself. If quells the sin of man-slaughter. Its vision and its contact instantaneously bestow the achievement of the four aims of life. 69. A Rudraksa of five faces is Rudra Himself. Its name is Kalagni. It is lordly. It bestows all sorts of salvation and achievement of all desired objects. 70. A five faces Rudraksa dispels all sorts of sins such as accrued from sexual intercourse with a forbidden woman and for eating forbidden food. 71. A Rudraksa with six faces is Kartikeya. A man who wears it on the right arm is certainly absolved of the sins of Brahmin-slaughter and the like. 72. A Rudraksa with seven faces, O Mahesani, is called Ananga. O Devasi, by wearing it even a poor man becomes a great lord. 73. A Rudraksa with eight faces is called Vasumurti and Bhairava. By wearing it a man lives the full span of life. After death he becomes the trident-wearing Lord (Siva). *********** to be continued ********** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
