And when he has beheld the Supreme Soul, visible, existing in all forms, whose feet and head and neck the universe composes, the lord and creator of the universe, let him in order to attain thereto utter the one mighty and holy syllable Om! Let it be his study as he listens to its true form. > — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa - [Previous: 42.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.42.1) - [Next: 42.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.42.3) - [Up: 42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.42) ## Translations (2) - [The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-pargiter.42.p2) — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-mt.42.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.42.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.42.2) · Pramāṇa
