First of all, Sage Shaunak expressed his desire to Sutji about knowing
the means, which could help a man in this era of Kali to attainment
lord Shiva, by cleansing all the impurities of his mind and rectifying his
inherent demonic tendencies. Sutji then described about Shiv
Mahapuran - the supreme of all the puranas, which was narrated by
Lord Shiva himself and which was later on retold by Sage Vyas with
the permission of Maharshi Sanatkumar, for the benediction of
common man. Sutji said, "By understanding the mysteries of
Shivmahapuran and singing its praises, a man attains greater virtues
than that which could be attained by being charitable or by the
performance of all the 'yagyas'. Contemplating on the subject matters
of Shivmahapuran give auspicious fruits just like a 'Kalpa-taru' (A
mythological tree which fulfills all the wishes). Shiv Mahapuran
contains twenty-four thousand shlokas and seven.
VIDYESHWAR SAMHITA
(SAGES ENQUIRE)
"Lord! Though we have heard many tales from you regarding the
man's benediction, but today we want to listen to something special.
Because in this present era of Kali, when all the castes have forgotten
about their respective duties we want to know is there any way to
prevent the deterioration in the human values?"
Sutji replied:-
"O Great men! Your enquiry has great relevance in this era of Kali. I
will certainly tell you about the way by the help of which a man can
achieve benediction. Shivmahapuran contains the essence of Vedantic
philosophy, which gives worldly pleasures as well as Salvation. Mere
remembrance of it destroys all the sins of a man. One who studies the
Rudra-Samhita attentively, his gravest of sins are destroyed
instantaneously. One who studies Rudra-Samhita' silently, sitting in
front of Bhairav-idol, all of his aspirations are fulfilled. A man gets
liberated from the sin of killing a brahmin, if he studies Rudra Samhita
while circulbulating around a Banyan tree."
Brahmins in all Ashrams (there are 4 in all), all the castes, male and
female and Shudras can wear Rudraksha as ordered by Shiva. It is
also instructed by Shiva that a devotee has abandoned the world
should wear a Rudraksha by saying ‘OM’. (47)
Wearing a Rudraksha during the day destroys all evils done during
the darkness of night. Wearing a Rudraksha during night destroys all
evils of the morning, afternoon and evening.(48)
Tripundadhari (three horizontal lines made by the ashes in the
forehead by the followers of Shiva), an ascetic, and a person wearing a
Rudraksha never go to hell.(49)
A saint who wears one Rudraksha on the head together with a
'Tripunda' and japs the "Panchakshara Mantra" should be worshipped.
(50)
A person who does not have Rudraksha in his organs, does not have
a "Tripunda" on his forehead and does not recite the "Panchakshara
Mantra" from his mouth should be taken to hell. (51)
A person with Bhasma (Tripund) and Rudraksha should never be
taken to hell, as a compensation of his deeds.(52)
"Yamraj" (The God of Yamas) gave this order to his subordinates.
Hearing this they went into a shocked silence.(53)
Therefore, Hey Mahadevi ! Rudraksha destroys all evils. Even if an
evil person wears a Rudraksha he is purified. He becomes equal to
Shiva and becomes dear to be.(54)
A person who wears a Rudraksha on hands, arms and forehead
becomes inviolable and he roams on this earth as an epithet of Shiva.
(55)
Saints and Demons worship him. For them he becomes an evil
destroyer and equivalent to Shiva.(56)
Those who wear Rudraksha without meditation and knowledge are
also freed from all evils and attain ‘Moksha’.(57)
Praying with a Rudraksha Rosary gives multifold benefits. Wearing
Rudraksha gives 10 times more benefit to the humans.(58)
Hey Devi !, as long as Rudraksha is on the body of any living person,
till then he never dies prematurely.(59)
Prepared with a 'Tripunda' and shining with a Rudraksha (not only
does a Rudraksha gives spirituality and fulfillment, it also increases the
beauty of the body. Rudraksha is also an ornament). Whomsoever
japs the "Mahamritunjaya Mantra" by his virtue we gets the fruits of
the virtue of Shiva.(60)
Rudraksha is beloved by the 5 Gods (Shiva, Parvati, Ganesh, Sun and
Vishnu). It is also dear to all the other Lords. Hey beloved ! All mantra
japs are possible on a Rudraksha Rosary. This has been ordered for
the devotees.(61)
There is no doubt that even the devotees of Vishnu should wear
Rudraksha. For the devotees of Shiva Rudraksha is always wearable.
(62)
Rudraksha are of different types. I will give a description of their
different types. Hey Parvati ! Listen to the nature of the providers of
wealth, passion and salvation.(63)
One faced Rudraksha is similar to Shiva and provides wealth and
salvation. Its virtue destroys the evil of the murder of a Brahmin.(64)
Where this Rudraksha is worshipped, wealth never goes away. All
kinds of turmoil are pacified and all desires are fulfilled.(65)
Two-faced Rudraksha is Lord Vishnu himself. It awards all desires and
profits. This Rudraksha especially destroys evils incurred from the
murder of a cow.(66)
Three-faced Rudraksha always awards all kinds of resources. Due to
its effects all types of attainment are acquired.(67)
Four-faced Rudraksha is Lord Brahma himself. It destroys the ill
effects obtained by killing a man. The virtue and touch of it awards all
the four human pursuits, namely; virtue, wealth, sensual enjoyment
and salvation immediately.(68)
Five-faced Rudraksha is Shiva himself. It is also known as the fire
that is to destroy the world (Kalagni). It provides all kinds of wealth
and passion together with fulfillment of all desires.(69)
The five- Faced Rudraksha saves from the sins incurred from eating
and visiting placed which are restricted.(70)
Six-faced Rudraksha is the form of Kartikeya. On wearing a six-faced
Rudraksha on the right arm, destroys all sins incurred from killing of a
Brahmin.(71)
Hey Maheshani ! Seven-face Rudraksha is Kamdeva (the lord of God)
himself. On wearing this rudraksha even a poor person becomes like
God.(72)
Eight-faced Rudraksha is Shiva in the form of "Bhairava". On wearing
it a person lives his entire life and after death attain the form of Shiva.
(73)
Nine-faced Rudraksha is a form of "Bhairava" and "Kapilmuni". It is
controlled by Devi Durga who herself is a form of nine Goddesses.(74)
Wearing a nine faced Rudraksha by those who are devoted, on the
right hand, becomes supreme and equivalent to me. There is no doubt
in this statement.(75)
Hey Maheshani ! Ten- faced Rudraksha is equivalent to "Lord Vishnu".
One who wears this Rudraksha attains all his desires.(76)
A wearer of eleven-faced Rudraksha becomes equivalent to "Lord
Shiva" in the form of 'Rudra' and becomes all round victorious.(77)
One who wears twelve-faced Rudraksha on the hair becomes
equivalent to the 12 forms of 'Sun'. (78)
Thirteen-faced Rudraksha is equivalent to "Vishwadeva". On wearing
this Rudraksha the wearer attains all kinds of desires, good luck and
blessings.(79)
Fourteen- faced Rudraksha is equivalent to Supreme Shiva. On
religiously wearing this Rudraksha on the head the wearer gets rid of
all sins.(80)
Hey, the daughter of king of mountains ! I have described all these
Rudraksha on the basis of the differences of their faces. Now listen
with love the mantras of all these Rudraksha in their order.(81)
On wearing these Rudraksha with devotion and faith, after anointing
them with the above mantras all desires and wealth are attained. (82)

A person who wears a Rudraksha without anointing it with mantra,
goes to hell for 1000 yugas or 4,320,000,000 years. (83)
On seeing a person wearing a Rudraksha Rosary all ghosts, spirits,
demons, witches, 'Shakini' (female demon attendant of Durga and
Shiva) and any other hostile elements and all effects of black magic
are removed. (84- 85)
Hey Parvati ! On seeing a person wearing a Rudraksha Rosary the
five Gods namely, Shiva, Vishnu, Durga, Ganesh and Sun, and all
other Gods are pleased.(86)
Hey Maheshwari! On understanding the glory of Rudraksha it should
be worn in an accurate manner by the use of mantras and with
devotion for the cause of increasing devotion.(87)
In this manner Lord Shiva discussed the glory of Rudraksha and
ashes (Bhasma) in front of Parvati, which provides accomplishment of
all desires and salvation.(88)
One who wear Rudraksha and uses Bhasma becomes very dear to
lord Shiva. There is no doubt that the effect of just wearing them
fulfills all desires and provides salvation.(89)
Rudraksha and Bhasma users are called devotees of Shiva and those
who chant "Panchakshar Manta" on Rudraksha live close to Lord Shiva
and become complete.(90)
Worshipping without the use of Bhasma, Tripund Rudraksha Rosary
does not provide the desired results by Lord Shiva. (91)
Hey Munivar ! Now I have replied to your queries. By the glory of
Bhasma and Rudraksha all desires are attained. (92)
Those who listen to this glory of Rudraksha everyday and show their
devotion and affection towards Rudraksha and Bhasma, they attain all
desires.(93)
They are blessed with all kinds of comforts and luxury with sons and
grandson in this Loka. They attain Moksha (salvation) in the company
of Lord Shiva and become very dear to Lord Shiva.(94)
Hey Sages ! This "VIDHYESHWAR SAMHITA" is told by me to all of
you by the order of Lord Shiva. It always provides all Siddhies and
Salvation.(95)
