Then the Rākṣasa, immediately he was seen by Kanka, filled with anger, said, “Wherefore hast thou come hither, O vilest of the egg-bom? Why hast thou approached me when I am in company with my wife? Such is not the rule of the wise in matters that must be accomplished in secret.” > — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa - [Previous: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.2.3) - [Next: 2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.2.5) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.2) ## Translations (2) - [The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-pargiter.2.p3) — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-mt.2.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.2.4) · Pramāṇa
