Calling us quickly and commending us according to our good qualities, the Muni, agitated at heart, addressed a most severe speech to us all, who were respectfully bowing, full of faith, with hands reverently joined. ‘Ye noble dvijas, whose minds are improved, are bound by obligations equally with me. A glorious progeny has sprung from you, just as ye, O twice-born, have sprung from me. If a father is deemed by you a guru worthy of reverence and most exalted, perform ye then my promise with cheerful mind.’ > — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa - [Previous: 3.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.34) - [Next: 3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.36) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3) ## Translations (2) - [The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-pargiter.3.p10) — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-mt.3.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.35) · Pramāṇa
