A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
अष्टत्रिंशत्प्रभेदेन भवन्त्युत्पत्तिभेदतः ।। ४९ ।।
aṣṭatriṃśatprabhedena bhavantyutpattibhedataḥ | | 49 | |
They (Rudrākṣas) are of thirty-eight varieties in
accordance with the difference in their origin. (49)
नेत्रात्सूर्यात्मनः शम्भोः कपिला द्वादशोदिताः ।
श्वेताः षोडश सञ्जाताः सोमरूपाद्विलोचनात् ।। ५० ।।
कृष्णा दशविधा जाता वह्निरूपाद्विलोचनात् ।
एवमुत्पत्तिभेदेन रुद्राक्षा बहुधा स्मृता ।। ५१ ।।
netrātsūryātmanaḥ śambhoḥ kapilā dvādaśoditāḥ |
śvetāḥ ṣoḍaśa sañjātāḥ somarūpādvilocanāt | | 50 | |
kṛṣṇā daśavidhā jātā vahnirūpādvilocanāt |
evamutpattibhedena rudrākṣā bahudhā smṛtāḥ | | 51 | |
From Śambhu's eye of the form of Sūrya twelve tawny
varieties were born. Sixteen white varieties originated from
his eye of the form of Candra. Ten black varieties arose from
his eye of form of Agni. Thus Rudrākṣas are regarded as
multifarious in accordance with the difference in their origin.

A wise person who is engaged in the worship of Śiva
should wear a good Rudrākṣa which is free from holes, which
has golden hue and which is not worn by others. (52)
