Chaper 25 of Vidyeshvarasamhita from Shiva Puran
Suta narrated (briefly) the greatness of rudraksha to saunaka and other sages. Rudraksha is a favourite bead of siva. It is highly sanctifying. It removes all sins by sight, contact and japas.
Siva said: O mahesani, formerly I had been performing penance for thousands of divine years. When I opened my eyes with a desire of helping the worlds, drops of tears fell from my eyes. From those tear-drops there cropped up the rudraksha trees. Rudrakshas grown in gauda land became great favourites of siva. They were grown in mathura, lanka, ayodhya, Malaya, sahya mountain, kasi and other places. They are competent to remove all the sins, as the sacred texts have declared.
These auspicious rudraksha were classified into Brahmins, kshatriyas, vaisyas and sudras. The colours of the four types of rudraksha are respectively white, red, yellow and black. All people shall wear the rudraksha of their own varna. Rudraksha are worn to get worldly pleasures and salvation and to gratify siva.
A rudraksha of the size of an emblic myrobalan (dhatriphala) is mentioned as the most excellent; one of the size of the fruit of the jujube tree (badariphala) is spoken of as the middling; the meanest of rudrakshas is of the size of a gram. O mahesvari, even the rudraksha of the size of the fruit of the jujube accords the benefit and heightens happiness and good fortune. That which is of the size of the emblic myrobabalan is conductive to the destruction of all distresses. That which is of the size of a gunja (the berry) is conducive to the achievement of the fruit of all dESIRE.

The lighter the rudraksha, the more fruitful it is. Each of these is fruitful and that of a weight of one tenth is considered by scholars as the most fruitful. The wearing of rudraksha is recommended for the sake of destroying sins. Hence that which is conducive to the achievement of every object has to be worn certainly. O paramesvari, no other necklace or garland is observed in the world to be so auspicious and fruitful as the rudraksha. O goddess, rudrakshas of even size, glossy, firm, thick and having many thornlike protrusions yield desires and bestow worldly pleasures and salvation forever.
Six types of rudrakshas shall be discarded; that which is defiled by worms, is cut and broken, has no thornlike protrusions, has cracks and is not circular. That which has a natural hole from end to end is the most excellent; that which is bored through by human effort is the middling one. The wearing of rudraksha is spoken of as conducive to the destruction of great sins. If eleven hundred rudrakshas are worn on the person, the man assumes the form of rudra. Even in hundreds of years it is impossible to describe adequately the benefit derived by wearing eleven hundred and fifty rudrakshas. A devout man shall make a coronet consisting of five hundred and fifty rudrakshas. A person of pious nature shall make three circular strings in the manner of the sacred thread, each having three hundred and sixty
beads. O mahesvari, three rudrakshas must be worn on the tuft and six in each of the ears right and left. Hundred and one rudraksha shall be worn round the neck; eleven rudrakshas shall be worn round each of the arms, elbows and wrists. Devotees of siva shall have three rudrakshas in the sacred thread and round the hips five rudrakshas shall be tied. O paramesvari, the person by whom so many rudrakshas are worn is worthy of being bowed to and adored by all like mahesa. Such a person while in contemplation shall be duly seated and addressed “O sivaâ€Â. Seeing him, every one is freed from sins. This is the rule regarding eleven hundred rudrakshas. If so many are not available, another auspicious procedure I mention to you. One rudraksha shall be worn on the tuft, thirty on the head, fifty round the neck, sixteen in each of the arms, twelve round each of the wrists, five hundred on
the shoulders, and three strings each having hundred and eight in the manner of the sacred tread. He who wears in all a thousand rudrakshas and is of firm resolve in performing rites is bowed to by all devas like rudra himself. One rudraksha shall be worn on the tuft, forty on the forehead, thirty two round the neck, hundred and eight over the chest, six in each of the ears, sixteen round each of the arms; o lord of sages, according to the measurement of the forearms, twelve or twice that number shall be worn there.
A person who wears so many, out of love, is a great devotee of siva. He shall be worshipped like siva. He is worthy of being always honoured by all. It shall be worn on the head repeating isana mantra; on the ears with tripurusa mantra; round the neck with aghora mantra and on the chest also likewise. The wise devotee shall wear the rudraksha round the forearms with aghora bija mantra. A string of fifteen beads shall be worn on the stomach with vamadeva mantra. With five mantras sadyojata etc., three, five or seven garlands shallbe worn. Or all the beads shall be worn with the mula mantra. A devotee of siva shall refrain from eating meat, garlic, onion, red garlic, potherb, slesmataka, pig of rubbish and liquors.

O uma, daughter of the mountains, the white rudraksha shall be worn by the Brahmin, the red by the kshatriya, the yellow by the vaisya, the black by the sudra. This is the path indicated by the Vedas. Whether he is a householder, forest dweller, ascetic or of any order, none shall go out of this secret advice. Only by great merits can the opportunity to wear the rudraksha be obtained. If he misses it, he will go to hell.
The rudrakshas of the size of an emblic myrobalan and those of lighter weight but depressed with thorns, those eaten by worms or without holes and those characterized by other defects shall not be worn by those wishing for auspicious results. They shall avoid small ones of the size of gram. O uma, rudraksha is an auspicious complement to my phallic image. The small one is always praiseworthy. People of all varnas and asramas even women and sudras can wear rudraksh at the bidding of siva. The ascetics shall wear it with the pranava.
If any one wears it during the day he is freed from sins committed during the night; if he wears it during the night, he is freed from the sins committed during the day. Similar is the result with its wearing during morning, midday or evening. Those who wear tripundra, the matted hair and the rudraksha do not go to yama’s abode.
Yama’s directive to his attendants: those who wear at least one rudraksha on their heads, tripundra on the forehead and repeat the panchakshari mantra shall be honoured by you all. They are indeed saintly men. You can bring the man here who has no rudraksha on his person and no tripundra on is forehead and who does not utter the panchakshari mantra. All those who have the ash and rudraksha shall be honoured always by us after knowing their power. They shall never be brought hereâ€Â. Yama commanded his attendants like this. They too remained quite agreeing to it. In fact they were surprised.
Hence mahadevi, the rudraksha as well as the person who wears it is my favourite. O parvati, even if he has committed sins he becomes pure. He who wears rudraksha round the hands and arms and over the head cannot be killed by any living being. He shall roam in the world in the form of rudra. He shall be respected by the gods and asuras always. He shall be honoured like siva. He removes the sin of any one seen by him. If a person is not liberated after meditation and acquisition of knowledge he shall wear rudraksha. He shall be freed from all sins and attain the highest goal. A mantra repeated with rudraksha is a crore times more efficacious. A man wearing rudraksha derives a hundred million times more merit. O goddess, as long as the rudraksha is on the person of a
living soul he is least affected by premature death. One shall attain rudra on seeing a person with tripundra, his limbs covered with rudraksha and repeating the mrityunjaya mantra. 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 rudrakshas (or counting on the hands). Even the devotees of Vishnu and other deities shall unhesitatingly wear the rudraksha. Especially the devotee of rudra shall wear rudraksha always.

Rudrakshas are of various types. I shall explain teir different classifications. O parvati, hear with great devotion. These rudrakshas bestow wordly pleasures and salvation.
A rudraksha of a single face is siva himself. It bestows worldly pleasures and salvation. The sin of Brahmin-slaughteris washed off at its mere sight.
A rudraksha with two faces is isa, the lord of devas. It bestows the fulfillment of all desires. Especially that rudraksha quickly quells the sin of cowslaughter.
A rudraksha with three faces always bestows means of enjoyment. As a result of its power all lores become firmly established.
A rudraksha of four faces is brahma himself. It quells the sin of manslaughter. Its vision and its contact instantaneously bestow the achievement of the four aims of life.
A rudraksha with five faces is rudra himself named kalagni. It bestows all sorts of salvation and achievement of all desired objects. A five faced rudraksha dispels all sorts of sins that accrue from sexual intercourse with a forbidden woman and from eating forbidden food.

A rudraksha with seven faces is called ananga. By wearing it even a poor man becomes a great lord.
A rudraksha with eight faces is called vasumurthi and bhairva. By wearing it a man lives the full span of life. After death he becomes the trident bearing lord siva.

For the achievement of all desired objects, the devotee shall wear the rudraksha with mantras. He shall have great devotion and faith. He shall be free from lethargy. The man who wears the rudraksha without mantra falls into a terrible hell and stays there during the tenure of fourteen Indras. On seeing a man with the garland of rudrakshas, all evil spirits, ghosts, pisachas, witches like dakini and sakini, other malignant spirits, evil charms and spells etc., fly away suspecting a quarrel. Seeing a devotee with the garland of rudrakshas, siva, vishnu, devi, ganapati, the sun and all the gods are pleased.
Thus realizing its greatness the rudraksha must be worn well, o mahesvari, repeating the mantras with devotion to make virtues flourish. Thus the greatness of ash and rudraksha that bestow worldly pleasures and salvation, was explained to girija by siva, the supreme soul. The persons who apply ash and wear rudraksha are great favourites of siva. Enjoyment of worldly pleasures and salvation are certainly due to their influence. He who applies ash and wears rudraksha is called a devotee fo siva. A person devoted to the japa of the five syallabled mantra is a perfect and noble being.
If mahadeva is worshipped without the tripundra of ash and without the garland of rudraksha, he does not bestow the fruit of cherished desire. Thus, o lord of sages, whatever has been asked has now been explained. The greatness of ash and rudraksha bestows the luxuriant fulfillment of all desires. He who regularly listens to the highly auspicious greatness of ash and rudraksha with devotion shall attain the fulfillment of all desires. He will enjoy all happiness here. He will be blessed with sons and grandsons. In the next world he will attain salvation. He will be a great favourite of siva.
O lordly sages, thus the compendium of vidyesvara samhita has been narrated to you all. As ordered by siva, it bestows achievement of everything and salvation

in the Padma Purana Chapter 57 Parts 23 to 25
Vyasa said:
O Brahmanas formerly in the Kritayuga a demon named Tripura having killed the gods and after the destruction of all the worlds remained firm in a city in the intermediate region between the heaven and the earth due to the boon of Brahma. Lord Siva heard the terrible representation of (i.e. made by) the gods.
Then he strung his bow with an arrow resembling death and holding it killed the demon who was seen ( by Him ) with ( His ) divine eye. Fallen from heaven like a giant meteor he dropped on the earth. Drops of perspiration fell down from ( the body of ) Rudra ( i. e. Shiva ) who was tired with exertion.
There on the earth a great Rudraksa was produced from the drops of Sivas perspiration. The beings do not know its fruit for it is very secret.

The SriMadDeviBhagavat 11th Skand Chapter IV states in parts 1 to 7
On making further query from Narayana about Rudraksha. He replied what He heard from Lord Rudra is as follows:
God said O Kartikeya listen to me. In ancient time there was a daitya named Tripura who used to win others by treachery. He killed all the deities. On complaint of Brahma and Vishnu about it I thought of him. I contemplated the Aghora one of the most powerful missiles to kill Tripura and to quell all kinds of obstacles. In the process my eyes remained open for one thousand divine years and a few drops of tear fell down. From these eye drops there sprang a tree of MahaRudraksa.
If you read these two accounts found in these two different books they are totally contradictory to the Shiva Purana and to themselves. These accounts of the origin of the Holy Rudraksa found in the Padma Purana and the
SriMadDeviBhagavat are not based in the Compassionate Nature of Lord Shiva and don't even agree with one another.
As one main example the Padma Purana states that tripura had destroyed everything and killed all the gods and was successful in all this destruction because he was protected by a boon of Lord Brahma.
In SriMadDeviBhagavat it states that Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma made a complaint to Lord Siva regarding the destruction that tripura was responsible for Both accounts are based in death and destruction and contradictory to each other with one account actually maligning Lord Brahma for giving a protective boon to a destructive force.
Therefore both the accounts of the origin of the Holy Rudraksa found in the Padma Purana and the SriMadDeviBhagavat are false and diluted Knowledge.

ONE MUKHI & 12 MUKHI RUDRAKSHA
The ruling planet of both these mukhis is the Sun or Surya. The one-faced Rudraksha is itself Lord Shiva and it is the rarest and the most important among all the varities of Rudrakshas. This Rudraksha enlightens the person of the supreme deity GOD. It makes one aware that GOD is only one. One faced Rudraksha is the symbol of the supreme God. This is the best among all the Rudrakshas. One faced Rudraksha is found in two shapes round and a half moon shaped. One who gets it and worships it obtains not only all the worldly pleasures during his life span but also remains unaffected by them. Astrologically they are said to cure the malefic effects of the Sun. These mukhis have the power to cure physical ailments like Head ache, ear ailments, Bowel problems, Bone weakness etc and also spiritual ailments such as lack of Confidence, Charisma, Personal power, leadership qualities and Prosperity. The One Faced Rudraksha should be capped in Gold or Silver and worn round the neck or be placed at the worshipping place chanting OM NAMAH SHIVAYA. The auspicious day for wearing this Rudraksha is Monday.

TWO MUKHI RUDRAKSHA
The ruling planet of two Mukhi Rudrakasha is Moon. Two-faced Rudraksha is the symbol of ArdhaNareeshwara a combination of the Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati (Shakti). It inculcates feeling of unity into the family. They effectively control the malefic effects of Moon such as diseases of Left eye, kidney and intestine at the physical level and lack of harmony in relationship etc at the spiritual level. They should be worn by fastening them into a red thread and chanting the mantras SHREE GAURI SHANKARAYA NAMAH and OM NAMAH. The auspicious day for wearing this Rudraksha is Monday.
