译文
And then Bhusuṇḍa asked lord Kālāgnirudra: by the varieties of rudrākṣas, what is each seed, what is its form, what its fruit? Declare that form, joined with mouths, which averts misfortune and gives the desired fruit. And he answered: on that, verses.

The second question is put, and it is worth comparing it with the first, for a shift has occurred between them. At the start of the book the question was: where did this come from, and what comes of it. Now the question is: ariṣṭa-nirasanam kāma-abhīṣṭa-phalam, "averting misfortune, giving what is desired."
The shift is clear: the conversation has moved from origin to use, and to a worldly use at that — to ward off calamity, to obtain what one wants. Let us say this without mockery, for the question is honest and is asked by everyone. A person whose child is ill or whose house is burning asks exactly this; and a tradition that refused to answer him would be not higher but more inhuman.
The Vaiṣṇava side answers such questions and does not drive the asker away. The Gītā names directly four kinds of people who turn to God: ārta ("the suffering"), jijñāsu ("the curious"), arthārthī ("the one seeking gain"), and jñānī ("the knower") — and calls all four sukṛtinaḥ, "acting well" (7.16). The suffering and the gain-seeker are named there first, and this is no slip. People usually come with need, not with love; and a tradition that requires people to come already with love will be left without people.
The Gītā has a reservation too, and it is worth citing in full: of the four, "the knower excels," for he is "constantly united and devoted to the One" (7.17). That is, one may come with need, but to remain at the level of need is to stop at the beginning; and the whole further listing of this book, where benefits are mapped onto seeds, is a speech addressed to those who have come with need.
