A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
Rudrākṣas of six and eight faces should be borne. On the
chest, fifty Rudrākṣas of four faces should be put on. In
each of the arms, sixteen Rudrakṣas of thirteen faces should
be tied. In each of fore-arms, twelve Rudrākṣas of nine faces
should be worn. One hundred and eight Rudrākṣas of fourteen
faces should be the Yajñasūtra (Yajñopavīta). Thus the
Rudrākṣas should a devotee of Śiva wear at all times. (54-58)
एवं रुद्राक्षधारी यः सर्वकाले तु वर्तते।
तस्य पापकथा नास्ति मूढस्यापि न संशयः ।।५९।।
evaṃ rudrākṣadhārī yaḥ sarvakāle tu vartate |
tasya pāpakathā nāsti mūḍhasyāpi na saṃśayaḥ ||59||
Thus in the case of him who wears Rudrākṣas at all times,
be he even a fool, there is no occasion for sin. There is no
doubt about it. (59)
ब्रह्महा मद्यपायी च स्वर्णहृद् गुरुतल्पगः।
मातृहा पितृहा चैव भ्रूणहा कृतघातकः ।।
रुद्राक्षधारणादेव मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः ।।६०।।
brahmahā madyapāyī ca svarṇahṛd gurutalpagaḥ |
mātṛhā pitṛhā caiva bhrūṇahā kṛtaghātakaḥ ||
rudrākṣadhāraṇādeva mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ ||60||
He who has killed a Brāhmaṇa, who is a drunkard, who
has stolen gold, who has seduced Guru’s wife, who has killed
his mother, who has killed has father, who has killed the baby
in the womb or who has killed his benefactor, is relieved of
all his great sins by the mere wearing of Rudrākṣas. (60)
दर्शनात् स्पर्शनाच्चैव स्मरणादपि पूजनात्।
रुद्राक्षधारणालोके मुच्यन्ते पातकैर्जनाः ।।६१।।
darśanāt sparśanāccaiva smaraṇādapi pūjanāt |
rudrākṣadhāraṇālloke mucyante pātakairjanāḥ ||61||
By the sight, touch, memory and worship of Rudrākṣas
and by the wearing of Rudrākṣas, people in the world become
freed from great sins. (61)

ब्राह्मणो वान्त्यजो वापि मूर्खो वा पण्डितोऽपि वा।
रुद्राक्षधारणादेव मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः ।।६२।।
brāhmaṇo vāntyajo vāpi mūrkho vā paṇḍito’pi vā |
rudrākṣadhāraṇādeva mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ ||62||
The devotee, whether he is a Brāhmaṇa, a Śūdra, a fool
or a learned person, is relieved of all great sins by the mere
wearing of Rudrākṣas. (62)
गवां कोटिप्रदानस्य यत्फलं भुवि लभ्यते।
तत्फलं लभते मर्त्यो नित्यं रुद्राक्षधारणात् ।।६३।।
gavāṃ koṭipradānasya yatphalaṃ bhuvi labhyate |
tatphalaṃ labhate martyo nityaṃ rudrākṣadhāraṇāt ||63||
Whatever fruit that is obtained in the world in the case
of offering a crore cows, that very fruit a human being attains
certainly through the wearing of Rudrākṣas. (63)
मृत्युकाले च रुद्राक्षं निष्पीड्य सह वारिणा।
यः पिबेच्चिन्तयन् रुद्रं रुद्रलोकं स गच्छति ।।६४।।
mṛtyukāle ca rudrākṣaṃ niṣpīḍya saha vāriṇā |
yaḥ pibeccintayan rudraṃ rudralokaṃ sa gacchati ||64||
He, who, at the time of death, squashes the Rudrākṣa
and drinks it with water meditating on Rudra, would go to
the world of Rudra. (64)
भस्मोद्धूलितसर्वाङ्गा धृतरुद्राक्षमालिकाः।
ये भवन्ति महात्मानस्ते रुद्रा नात्र संशयः ।।६५।।
bhasmoddhūlitasarvāṅgā dhṛtarudrākṣamālikāḥ |
ye bhavanti mahātmānaste rudrā nātra saṃśayaḥ ||65||
Those great souls who have smeared themselves with
Bhasma and who have worn the garlands of Rudrākṣas, are
the Rudras. There is no doubt about this. (65)
