Rājarājeśvara (राजराजेश्वर) refers to one of the many varieties of the Śālagrāma (ammonite fossil stones).—The Rājarājeśvara has seven cakras, mark of umbrella (chatra); medium size. Śālagrāma stones are very ancient geological specimens, rendered rounded and smooth by water-currents in a great length of time. They (e.g., Rājarājeśvara stones) are distinguished by the ammonite (śālā, described as “vajra-kīṭa”, “adamantine worms”) which having entered into them for residence, are fossilized in course of time, leaving discus-like marks inside the stone.
