Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 9
रुद्राक्षमालया जप्तो मंत्रोऽनंतफलप्रदः । अरुद्राक्षो जपः पुंसां तावन्मात्रफलप्रदः
rudrākṣamālayā japto maṃtro'naṃtaphalapradaḥ | arudrākṣo japaḥ puṃsāṃ tāvanmātraphalapradaḥ
Mantra yang dijapa dengan mālā rudrākṣa mengurniakan hasil yang tiada bertepi. Namun japa manusia tanpa rudrākṣa hanya memberikan hasil sekadar ukuran yang terbatas itu sahaja.
Sūta (continued narration)
Scene: Close focus on hands moving a rudrākṣa mālā during japa; a faint infinite spiral/light motif rises from the beads to symbolize ‘endless fruit’, while a second figure without mālā appears dimmer to contrast limited fruit.
