Hitherto have the righteous birds remained on that mountain, engaged in austerities and the study of the Vedas, and resolute in meditation. Thus those Muni’s sons gained the hospitality of the noble Muni, acquired the shape of birds, and are dwelling on the Vindhya range, in a cave of the noble mountain, where the water is very sacred, with their minds subdued. > — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa - [Previous: 3.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.82) - [Next: 3.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.84) - [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.p23) — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-mt.3.83) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.3.83) · Pramāṇa
