आदावामलकात्स्वतो लघुतरा रुग्णास्ततः कंटकैः संदष्टाः कृमिभिस्तनूपकरणच्छिद्रे ण हीनास्तथा । धार्या नैव शुभेप्सुभिश्चणकवद्रुद्रा क्षमप्यंततो रुद्रा क्षोमम लिंगमंगलमुमे सूक्ष्मं प्रशस्तं सदा ४६ ।

sanskrit

The Rudrākṣas 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 Umā, Rudrākṣa is an auspicious complement to my phallic image. The small one is always praiseworthy.
