Dwarka Shila: This is a highly sacred stone. One who touches it gets liberation. Like Shaligram it is the emblem of Vishnu. According to Prelude Samhita a Dwarka-Shila with one Chakra is known as Sudarsan, a Shila with two Chakras is Lakshmi-Narayana, and one with three Chakras is Trivikrama. The Shila with four Chakras is Jacaranda, with five Chakras is Vasudeva, with six Chakras is Pradyumna, and with seven Chakras is Baladeva. The one that has eight Chakras is called Purushottama, with nine Chakras Navavyuha, with ten Chakras is Dashmurti, and with eleven Chakras is Aniruddha. That Dwaraka-Shila with twelve Chakras is Dvadasatmaka, and one with more than twelve Chakras is known as Ananta. The shape of the Dwarka Shila also determines the type of the
Shila. Similarly according to Kapila-Pancaratra sacred shila known as Sudarsana, which has one Chakra on it, gives one liberation. The Lakshmi-Narayana Dvaraka-Shila with two Chakras gives opulence and liberation, and an Acyuta-Shila with three Chakras gives one respect equal to Lord Indra. The Shila known as Chaturbhuja with four Chakras brings religious thinking, economic development, enjoyment, and liberation. A Vasudeva-Shila, Which has five Chakras, will remove the fear of birth and death, and a Pradyumna-Shila with six Chakras will give one beauty and wealth and happiness.
Near the sea are seen stones and rocks with marks of
wheels (chakra) on it the sight of which gives
salvation. These rocks with the mark of wheels are worth
worshipping. Worship of these rocks give a man the
feeling of being in the vicinity of Lord Vishnu himself.
All his sins committed by thoughts, words and deeds get
destroyed if he takes a bath in the holy water of 'Chakrateertha'
The Kapila-pancaratra explains the benefits of
worshiping different types of dvaraka-shilas. That
charming shila known as Sudarsana, which has one chakra
on it, gives one liberation. The Lakshmi-Narayana
dvaraka-shila with two chakras gives opulence and
liberation, and an Acyuta-shila with three chakras gives
one respect equal to Lord Indra. The shila known as
Caturbhuja with four chakras brings religion, economic
development, enjoyment, and liberation. A Vasudeva-shila,
Which has five chakras, will remove the fear of birth and
death, and a Pradyumna-shila with six chakras will give
one beauty and wealth. The one called Balabhadra-shila
with seven chakras gives fame and a continuation of one's
dynasty, while a Purushottama-shila with eight chakras
gives all types of benedictions. With nine chakras, a
Narasimhadeva-shila gives the highest benefits, and a
Dashavatara dvaraka-shila with ten chakras gives
kingship. An Aniruddha-shila, which has eleven chakras,
give fame and lordship, and the one known as
Dvadasatmaka-shila with twelve chakras gives liberation
and happiness. - The Kapila-pancaratra also describes
the bad results derived from worshiping certain types of
dvaraka-shilas. A black Dvaraka-shila gives death, a
smoke colored one gives constant fear, a multi-colored
one gives bad health and a blue colored Shila takes
away one's wealth. That Dvaraka-shila that has a hole
passing through it brings poverty, a pale one gives
terrible distress, and a broken Shila brings separation
from the wife. The white Shila gives sons, grandsons,
wealth, power, and all types of happiness, so this type
of Shila should be adored. - The Prahlada-samhita also
says that a black Shila causes death, reddish gives
constant fear, multi-colored brings disease, yellow or
smoke-colored gives poverty, and a broken one causes
death to the wife. Shilas with a hole, uneven chakras,
triangular in shape, or half-moon shaped should never be
worshiped. Garga and Galava Rishis have stated that a
Shila with uniform chakras brings happiness, a twelve
chakra Shila is very auspicious, and round and square
shilas give happiness. But worshiping shilas that are
broken, triangular, having holes, with uneven chakras, or
half-moon shaped is fruitless.
