इति श्रीगारुडे महापुराणे पूर्वखण्डे प्रथमांशाख्ये आचारकाण्डे पुलकपरीक्षणं नाम सप्तसप्ततितमोऽध्यायः ॥
4 verses · 77 of 241
Suta says that the nails of the danava king were placed on holy mountains, by rivers and in the northern lands, and those regions became famous. In Dasharna, Vagadara, Mekala, Kalaga and similar places, good pulaka gems are found, coloured like gunja seed, collyrium, honey and lotus stalk, some shining like fire or the plantain. Pulakas marked with patterns of conch, lotus, bee or sun, or crossed by fine threads, are supremely pure and auspicious, and bring growth. But those that show shapes of crows, dogs, donkeys, jackals, wolves or vultures with mouths wet with flesh and blood bring death, and a wise man rejects them. A pala of good pulaka is priced at five hundred. The whole teaching takes four verses.
