सुवर्णवर्णमच्छिन्नं शुभं नान्यैर्धृतं शुभम् ॥ विप्रादीनां क्रमाच्छ्रेष्ठं पीतं रक्तमथासितम् ॥ ३६ ॥

The Rudrākṣa bead with the lustre of gold is excellent. It shall not be cut. What is not worn by others is the most auspicious. To the three castes the colours yellow, red and black are respectively excellent.
