svayambhuve puruṣāya purāṇāya śāśvatāya avyayāya ca
13. Mārkaṇḍeya said: "Indeed, I will tell you, after first bowing to the Self-existent One, the ancient (purāṇa) cosmic person (puruṣa), the eternal, and the imperishable."

14. yaḥ eṣaḥ pṛthudīrghākṣaḥ pītavāsāḥ janārdanaḥ
eṣaḥ kartā vikartā ca sarvabhāvanabhūtakṛt
14. He who is this Janārdana, with broad, long eyes and clad in yellow garments—He is the creator and transformer, the maker of all beings and their very existence.

āditaḥ manujavyāghra kṛtsnasya jagataḥ kṣaye
17. O best of kings (rājasattama), O tiger among men (manujavyāghra), all this—this wondrous event—has indeed transpired, from the very beginning (āditaḥ), at the dissolution (kṣaye) of the entire (kṛtsnasya) world (jagataḥ).

tasya tāvat śatī sandhyā sandhyāṃśaḥ ca tataḥ param
18. They say that four thousand years constitute that Kṛta Yuga. Its (Kṛta Yuga's) transition period (sandhyā) is a duration of that many hundreds (of years), and its concluding portion (sandhyāṃśa) is likewise that much thereafter.

tāvat śatī sandhyā sandhyāṃśaḥ ca tataḥ param
19. Three thousand years are said to be the Tretā Yuga here. Its transition period (sandhyā) is a duration of that many hundreds (of years), and its concluding portion (sandhyāṃśa) is likewise that much thereafter.
तथा वर्षसहस्रे द्वे द्वापरं परिमाणतः ।
तस्यापि द्विशती संध्या संध्यांशश्च ततः परम् ॥२०॥

api dviśatī sandhyā sandhyāṃśaḥ ca tataḥ param

eṣā dvādaśasāhasrī yugākhyā parikīrtitā
22. When the Kali Yuga diminishes, the Kṛta Yuga indeed commences. This twelve-thousand-year period is declared to be known as 'Yuga'.

udāhṛtam viśvam hi brahmabhavane
sarvaśaḥ pravartate lokānām
manujavyāghra pralayam tam viduḥ budhāḥ
23. This period, extending to a thousand [such cycles], is declared to be a day of Brahmā (brahman). Indeed, the entire universe completely revolves within Brahmā's abode. O tiger among men, the wise know that period as the dissolution (pralaya) of the worlds.

सहस्रान्ते नराः सर्वे प्रायशोऽनृतवादिनः ॥२४॥

24. alpaavaśiṣṭe tu tadā yugānte bharatarṣabha
sahasrānte narāḥ sarve prāyaśaḥ anṛtavādinaḥ
24. O best of Bharatas, then, at the very end of the yuga when only a little remains, at the culmination of the thousand-year period, all people are generally speakers of untruths.

25. yājñapratinidhiḥ pārtha dānapratinidhiḥ tathā
vratapratinidhiḥ ca eva tasmin kāle pravartate
25. O Pārtha, in that time, substitutes for Vedic ritual (yajña), similarly substitutes for charity (dāna), and indeed substitutes for vows will become prevalent.
ब्राह्मणाः शूद्रकर्माणस्तथा शूद्रा धनार्जकाः ।
क्षत्रधर्मेण वाप्यत्र वर्तयन्ति गते युगे ॥२६॥

27. kalau yuge brāhmaṇāḥ nivṛttayajñasvādhyāyāḥ
piṇḍodakavivarjitāḥ ca sarvabhakṣāḥ bhaviṣyanti
27. In the Kali age, Brahmins will become those who have abandoned Vedic rituals (yajña) and self-study of the Vedas (svādhyāya). They will be devoid of ancestral offerings (piṇḍa-udaka) and will consume all kinds of food (sarvabhakṣāḥ).
अजपा ब्राह्मणास्तात शूद्रा जपपरायणाः ।
विपरीते तदा लोके पूर्वरूपं क्षयस्य तत् ॥२८॥

28. ajapāḥ brāhmaṇāḥ tāta śūdrāḥ japaparāyaṇāḥ
viparīte tadā loke pūrvarūpam kṣayasya tat
28. O dear one, Brahmins will cease chanting (japa), while Śūdras will be dedicated to chanting (japa). When the world is thus reversed, that is a preliminary sign of its decline.

kṣatriyāḥ api vaiśyāḥ ca vikarmasthāḥ narādhipa
31. O lord of men, at that time, no Brahmin will adhere to his own particular constitution (svadharma). Even Kshatriyas and Vaishyas will be engaged in improper actions.

अल्पदेहाल्पसाराश्च तथा सत्याल्पभाषिणः ॥३२॥

33. When the end of the age (yuga) is at hand, a country will be largely desolate, and the directions will be covered with wild animals. Ascetics (brahmacāriṇaḥ) will be useless. Similarly, śūdras will address others disrespectfully as 'Bhoh!', and brahmins will engage in flattering speech.
युगान्ते मनुजव्याघ्र भवन्ति बहुजन्तवः ।

शाखायां तस्य वृक्षस्य विस्तीर्णायां नराधिप ।
पर्यङ्के पृथिवीपाल दिव्यास्तरणसंस्तृते ॥८२॥
82. śākhāyāṁ tasya vṛkṣasya vistīrṇāyāṁ narādhipa ,
paryaṅke pṛthivīpāla divyāstaraṇasaṁstṛte.
82. śākhāyām tasya vṛkṣasya vistīrṇāyām narādhipa
paryaṅke pṛthivīpāla divyāstaraṇasaṃstṛte
82. O king, O protector of the earth, upon a wide branch of that tree, on a couch spread with divine coverings, (I saw a child).
उपविष्टं महाराज पूर्णेन्दुसदृशाननम् ।
फुल्लपद्मविशालाक्षं बालं पश्यामि भारत ॥८३॥
83. upaviṣṭaṁ mahārāja pūrṇendusadṛśānanam ,
phullapadmaviśālākṣaṁ bālaṁ paśyāmi bhārata.
83. upaviṣṭam mahārāja pūrṇendusadṛśānanam
phullapadmaviśālākṣam bālam paśyāmi bhārata
83. O great king, O Bhārata, I see a child seated, whose face resembles the full moon, and whose large eyes are like blooming lotuses.
ततो मे पृथिवीपाल विस्मयः सुमहानभूत् ।
कथं त्वयं शिशुः शेते लोके नाशमुपागते ॥८४॥
84. tato me pṛthivīpāla vismayaḥ sumahānabhūt ,
kathaṁ tvayaṁ śiśuḥ śete loke nāśamupāgate.
84. tataḥ me pṛthivīpāla vismayaḥ sumahān abhūt
katham tu ayam śiśuḥ śete loke nāśamupāgate
84. Then, O protector of the earth, a great wonder arose in me: "How can this child be sleeping when the world has reached destruction?"
तपसा चिन्तयंश्चापि तं शिशुं नोपलक्षये ।
भूतं भव्यं भविष्यच्च जानन्नपि नराधिप ॥८५॥
85. tapasā cintayaṁścāpi taṁ śiśuṁ nopalakṣaye ,
bhūtaṁ bhavyaṁ bhaviṣyacca jānannapi narādhipa.
85. tapasā cintayan ca api taṃ śiśuṃ na upalakṣaye
bhūtaṃ bhavyaṃ bhaviṣyat ca jānan api narādhipa
85. O king, even though I know the past, present, and future, I could not perceive that child, even by meditating with austerity (tapas).
अतसीपुष्पवर्णाभः श्रीवत्सकृतलक्षणः ।
साक्षाल्लक्ष्म्या इवावासः स तदा प्रतिभाति मे ॥८६॥
86. atasīpuṣpavarṇābhaḥ śrīvatsakṛtalakṣaṇaḥ ,

86. atasīpuṣpavarṇābhaḥ śrīvatsakṛtalakṣaṇaḥ sākṣāt
lakṣmyāḥ iva āvāsaḥ saḥ tadā pratibhāti me
86. At that time, he appeared to me as if he were the direct abode of Lakshmi (Lakṣmī), having the hue of a flax flower and bearing the mark of the śrīvatsa.
ततो मामब्रवीद्बालः स पद्मनिभलोचनः ।
श्रीवत्सधारी द्युतिमान्वाक्यं श्रुतिसुखावहम् ॥८७॥
87. tato māmabravīdbālaḥ sa padmanibhalocanaḥ ,

87. tataḥ mām abravīt bālaḥ saḥ padmanibhalocanaḥ
śrīvatsadhārī dyutimān vākyaṃ śrutisukhāvaham
87. Then that radiant boy, bearing the śrīvatsa mark and having lotus-like eyes, spoke to me words that were pleasing to the ears.
जानामि त्वा परिश्रान्तं तात विश्रामकाङ्क्षिणम् ।
मार्कण्डेय इहास्स्व त्वं यावदिच्छसि भार्गव ॥८८॥
88. jānāmi tvā pariśrāntaṁ tāta viśrāmakāṅkṣiṇam ,
mārkaṇḍeya ihāssva tvaṁ yāvadicchasi bhārgava.
88. jānāmi tvā pariśrāntaṃ tāta viśrāmakāṅkṣiṇam
mārkaṇḍeya iha āssva tvaṃ yāvat icchasi bhārgava
88. My dear one, O Mārkaṇḍeya, I know you are exhausted and desiring rest. Stay here, O Bhārgava, for as long as you wish.
अभ्यन्तरं शरीरं मे प्रविश्य मुनिसत्तम ।
आस्स्व भो विहितो वासः प्रसादस्ते कृतो मया ॥८९॥
89. abhyantaraṁ śarīraṁ me praviśya munisattama ,
āssva bho vihito vāsaḥ prasādaste kṛto mayā.
89. abhyantaram śarīram me praviśya munisattama
āsva bho vihitaḥ vāsaḥ prasādaḥ te kṛtaḥ mayā
89. O best of sages, please enter my inner body and dwell there. An abode has been prepared for you, and I have granted you this favor.
ततो बालेन तेनैवमुक्तस्यासीत्तदा मम ।

90. tato bālena tenaivamuktasyāsīttadā mama ,
nirvedo jīvite dīrghe manuṣyatve ca bhārata.
90. tataḥ bālena tena evam uktasya āsīt tadā mama
nirvedaḥ jīvite dīrghe manuṣyatve ca bhārata
90. Then, when I was addressed in this way by that boy, at that moment, I felt a deep dispassion (nirveda) towards a long life and also towards human existence, O Bhārata.
ततो बालेन तेनास्यं सहसा विवृतं कृतम् ।
तस्याहमवशो वक्त्रं दैवयोगात्प्रवेशितः ॥९१॥
91. tato bālena tenāsyaṁ sahasā vivṛtaṁ kṛtam ,

91. tataḥ bālena tena āsyam sahasā vivṛtam kṛtam
tasya aham avaśaḥ vaktram daivayogāt praveśitaḥ
91. Then, that boy suddenly opened his mouth. Powerless, I was, by the force of destiny (daivayoga), made to enter his mouth.
ततः प्रविष्टस्तत्कुक्षिं सहसा मनुजाधिप ।
सराष्ट्रनगराकीर्णां कृत्स्नां पश्यामि मेदिनीम् ॥९२॥

92. tataḥ praviṣṭaḥ tatkukṣim sahasā manujādhipa
sarāṣṭranagarākīrṇām kṛtsnām paśyāmi medinīm
92. Then, O ruler of men, as I suddenly entered his stomach, I saw the entire earth, crowded with kingdoms and cities.
गङ्गां शतद्रुं सीतां च यमुनामथ कौशिकीम् ।
चर्मण्वतीं वेत्रवतीं चन्द्रभागां सरस्वतीम् ॥९३॥
93. gaṅgāṁ śatadruṁ sītāṁ ca yamunāmatha kauśikīm ,

93. gaṅgām śatadrum sītām ca yamunām atha kauśikīm
carmaṇvatīm vetravatīm candrabhāgām sarasvatīm
93. The Ganges, the Sutlej, the Sita, and the Yamuna, and also the Koshiki; the Chambal, the Betwa, the Chenab, and the Saraswati—
सिन्धुं चैव विपाशां च नदीं गोदावरीमपि ।

94. And indeed the Indus, and the Beas, and also the river Godavari, the Vasvokasara, the Nalini, and indeed the Narmada, O descendant of Bharata (Bhārata)!

95. nadīm tāmrām ca veṇṇām ca puṇyatoyām
śubhāvahām suveṇām kṛṣṇaveṇām

95. —the Tamra river, and the Venna, whose waters are sacred and bring auspiciousness; the Suvena, the Krishna-vena, and the Irama, and the Mahanadi; and also the Shona, the Vishalya, and the Kampuna, O tiger among men (puruṣavyāghra)!

96. etāścānyāśca nadyo'haṁ pṛthivyāṁ yā narottama ,

96. etāḥ ca anyāḥ ca nadyaḥ aham pṛthivyām yā narottama

96. O best among men (narottama), I, wandering around the earth, see these and other rivers that exist on earth within the belly of that great being (mahātman).
ततः समुद्रं पश्यामि यादोगणनिषेवितम् ।

97. tataḥ samudram paśyāmi yādogaṇaniṣevitam
ratnākaram amitraghna nidhānam payasaḥ mahat
97. Then, O slayer of enemies, I behold the great ocean, frequented by hordes of aquatic creatures, a treasure-house of jewels, and a vast reservoir of water.
ततः पश्यामि गगनं चन्द्रसूर्यविराजितम् ।
जाज्वल्यमानं तेजोभिः पावकार्कसमप्रभैः ।

jājvalyamānam tejobhiḥ

98. Then I behold the sky, resplendent with the moon and the sun, intensely shining with splendors like fire and the sun. And, O king, I also see the earth, adorned with forests.
यजन्ते हि तदा राजन्ब्राह्मणा बहुभिः सवैः ।

99. yajante hi tadā rājanbrāhmaṇā bahubhiḥ savaiḥ ,

99. yajante hi tadā rājan brāhmaṇāḥ bahubhiḥ savaiḥ

99. Then, O king, Brahmins indeed perform many Vedic rituals (yajña), and Kshatriyas engage in pleasing all social classes (varṇa).
वैश्याः कृषिं यथान्यायं कारयन्ति नराधिप ।
शुश्रूषायां च निरता द्विजानां वृषलास्तथा ॥१००॥

100. O king, Vaishyas properly carry out agriculture, and similarly, Shudras are devoted to the service of the twice-born.
ततः परिपतन्राजंस्तस्य कुक्षौ महात्मनः ।

103. O tiger among men (manujavyāghra), I also behold Mount Mandara, and the great blue mountain (mahāgiri). And, O great king (mahārāja), I see Mount Meru, the golden mountain.
महेन्द्रं चैव पश्यामि विन्ध्यं च गिरिमुत्तमम् ।

tasya udare mayā dṛṣṭāḥ sarvaratnavibhūṣitāḥ
105. These and many other mountains, as many as exist on earth, adorned with all kinds of jewels, were seen by me in his belly.
सिंहान्व्याघ्रान्वराहांश्च नागांश्च मनुजाधिप ।
पृथिव्यां यानि चान्यानि सत्त्वानि जगतीपते ।

106. O ruler of men, O protector of the world, I saw lions, tigers, boars, and elephants, and all other beings that exist on earth, all of them, there inside him, and roamed around among them at that time.
कुक्षौ तस्य नरव्याघ्र प्रविष्टः संचरन्दिशः ।

sthāvarajaṅgamam tat apaśyam aham sarvam
tasya kukṣau mahātmanaḥ phalāhāraḥ

109. Whatever I, subsisting on fruits, saw in the world, both stationary and moving, I then saw all of that within the belly of that great soul (mahātman), as I wandered through this entire universe.
अन्तः शरीरे तस्याहं वर्षाणामधिकं शतम् ।

110. Inside his body (śarīra), I remained for more than a hundred years, yet I could not see an end to his body (deha) anywhere.
सततं धावमानश्च चिन्तयानो विशां पते ।

111. satatam dhāvamānaḥ ca cintayānaḥ viśām pate
āsādayāmi na eva antam tasya rājan mahātmanaḥ
111. Constantly running and pondering, O lord of the people (viśāṃ pate), O king (rājan), I could never find an end to that great soul (mahātman).
ततस्तमेव शरणं गतोऽस्मि विधिवत्तदा ।
वरेण्यं वरदं देवं मनसा कर्मणैव च ॥११२॥
112. tatastameva śaraṇaṁ gato'smi vidhivattadā ,
vareṇyaṁ varadaṁ devaṁ manasā karmaṇaiva ca.
112. tataḥ tam eva śaraṇam gataḥ asmi vidhivat tadā
vareṇyam varadam devam manasā karmaṇā eva ca
112. Therefore, I then formally sought refuge in that very supreme and boon-bestowing deity (deva), both with my mind and with my actions (karma).
ततोऽहं सहसा राजन्वायुवेगेन निःसृतः ।
महात्मनो मुखात्तस्य विवृतात्पुरुषोत्तम ॥११३॥
113. tato'haṁ sahasā rājanvāyuvegena niḥsṛtaḥ ,

113. tataḥ aham sahasā rājan vāyuvegena niḥsṛtaḥ
mahātmanaḥ mukhāt tasya vivṛtāt puruṣottama
113. Then, O King, I suddenly emerged with the speed of wind from the open mouth of that great being (mahātman), the Supreme Person (puruṣottama).
ततस्तस्यैव शाखायां न्यग्रोधस्य विशां पते ।
आस्ते मनुजशार्दूल कृत्स्नमादाय वै जगत् ॥११४॥
114. tatastasyaiva śākhāyāṁ nyagrodhasya viśāṁ pate ,

114. tataḥ tasya eva śākhāyām nyagrodhasya viśām
pate āste manujaśārdūla kṛtsnam ādāya vai jagat
114. Then, O Lord of the people, O best among men, indeed, upon a branch of that very banyan tree, he (Viṣṇu) was seated, holding the entire universe (jagat).
तेनैव बालवेषेण श्रीवत्सकृतलक्षणम् ।
आसीनं तं नरव्याघ्र पश्याम्यमिततेजसम् ॥११५॥
115. tenaiva bālaveṣeṇa śrīvatsakṛtalakṣaṇam ,

115. tena eva bālaveṣeṇa śrīvatsakṛtalakṣaṇam
āsīnam tam naravyāghra paśyāmi amitatejasam
115. O best of men, I see him—that one (Viṣṇu) of immeasurable splendor (amitatejas)—seated in that very child's guise, marked with the Śrīvatsa.
ततो मामब्रवीद्वीर स बालः प्रहसन्निव ।
श्रीवत्सधारी द्युतिमान्पीतवासा महाद्युतिः ॥११६॥
116. tato māmabravīdvīra sa bālaḥ prahasanniva ,

116. tataḥ mām abravīt vīra saḥ bālaḥ prahasan iva
śrīvatsadhārī dyutimān pītavāsā mahādyutiḥ
116. Then, O hero, that child—who was bearing the Śrīvatsa, radiant, clad in yellow garments, and of great splendor—spoke to me, as if smiling.
अपीदानीं शरीरेऽस्मिन्मामके मुनिसत्तम ।
उषितस्त्वं सुविश्रान्तो मार्कण्डेय ब्रवीहि मे ॥११७॥
117. apīdānīṁ śarīre'sminmāmake munisattama ,

117. api idānīm śarīre asmin māmaka munisattama
uṣitaḥ tvam suviśrāntaḥ mārkaṇḍeya bravīhi me
117. O Markandeya, best among sages, tell me, have you now rested well in this body of mine?
मुहूर्तादथ मे दृष्टिः प्रादुर्भूता पुनर्नवा ।
यया निर्मुक्तमात्मानमपश्यं लब्धचेतसम् ॥११८॥
118. muhūrtādatha me dṛṣṭiḥ prādurbhūtā punarnavā ,

118. muhūrtāt atha me dṛṣṭiḥ prādurbhūtā punaḥ navā
yayā nirmuktam ātmānam apaśyam labdhacetasam
118. Then, after a moment, a fresh vision appeared to me, through which I saw my true self (ātman) liberated and having regained consciousness.
तस्य ताम्रतलौ तात चरणौ सुप्रतिष्ठितौ ।
सुजातौ मृदुरक्ताभिरङ्गुलीभिरलंकृतौ ॥११९॥
119. tasya tāmratalau tāta caraṇau supratiṣṭhitau ,

119. tasya tāmratalau tāta caraṇau supratiṣṭhitau
sujātau mṛduraktābhiḥ aṅgulībhiḥ alaṅkṛtau
119. O dear one, his two feet were firmly set, with soles reddish like copper, beautifully formed, and adorned with soft, reddish toes.
प्रयतेन मया मूर्ध्ना गृहीत्वा ह्यभिवन्दितौ ।
दृष्ट्वापरिमितं तस्य प्रभावममितौजसः ॥१२०॥
120. prayatena mayā mūrdhnā gṛhītvā hyabhivanditau ,

120. prayatena mayā mūrdhnā gṛhītvā hi abhivanditau
dṛṣṭvā aparimitam tasya prabhāvam amitojasaḥ
120. With devoted effort, I took his feet to my head and indeed revered them, having seen the immeasurable power (prabhāva) of that one of infinite energy.
विनयेनाञ्जलिं कृत्वा प्रयत्नेनोपगम्य च ।
दृष्टो मया स भूतात्मा देवः कमललोचनः ॥१२१॥

121. vinayena añjalim kṛtvā prayatnena upagamya ca
dṛṣṭaḥ mayā saḥ bhūtātmā devaḥ kamalalocanaḥ
121. Having humbly performed the añjali gesture and diligently approached, I saw that divine being, the Self (ātman) of all creatures, whose eyes are like lotuses.
तमहं प्राञ्जलिर्भूत्वा नमस्कृत्येदमब्रुवम् ।
ज्ञातुमिच्छामि देव त्वां मायां चेमां तवोत्तमाम् ॥१२२॥
122. tamahaṁ prāñjalirbhūtvā namaskṛtyedamabruvam ,

122. Having folded my hands (añjali) and bowed to him, I said this: 'O divine one, I wish to know you and also this supreme illusion (māyā) of yours.'

123. O Lord, I entered your body through your mouth. I saw all the worlds, the entire cosmos, within your belly.

124. O divine one, situated within your body are gods, dānavas, rākṣasas, yakṣas, gandharvas, nāgas, and the entire world, both stationary and moving.

125. And by your grace, O Lord, my memory (smṛti) is not lost, even though I am swiftly and constantly wandering within your body.

126. O faultless one, O lotus-eyed one, I wish to know you. Why do you remain here, having directly manifested as a child? Having swallowed this entire universe, you should explain this to me.

127. kimartham ca jagat sarvam śarīrastham tava anagha

127. And O sinless one, for what purpose is this entire universe situated within your body? And O subduer of enemies, for how long should you remain here?

128. O Lord of gods, O lotus-petal-eyed one, I wish to hear this from you in detail and exactly as it is, with the earnest desire of a Brahmin. For indeed, what I have seen, O Lord, is great and inconceivable.
इत्युक्तः स मया श्रीमान्देवदेवो महाद्युतिः ।
