Perceiving that his fixed resolution, Indra, further, resuming his own form said, ‘ Ho! princely brahman, understand with thy understanding what is to be understood, O man of understanding! To prove thee have I thus transgressed, O sinless one! Pardon me then, O pure-minded one: and what wish is there of thine that may he granted? Pleased most highly am I with thee, for maintaining thy true word. Henceforth, knowledge like Indra’s shall be revealed to thee, and no obstacle shall withstand thee in austerities and holy law.’ > — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa - [Previous: 3.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.51) - [Next: 3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.53) - [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.p17) — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-mt.3.52) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.52) · Pramāṇa
