With eyes closed fast during their embraces, she thought by reason of his ardour that his form was that of the young brāhman surmounted with fire. Then after a time she conceived a child, O best of munis; it took its form from the Gandharva’s energy and her dwelling in thought on the brahman. Then he having soothed Varūthinī in her pregnant condition departed, still assuming the brāhman’s shape; she gave him a loving dismissal. > — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa - [Previous: 63.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.63.1) - [Next: 63.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.63.3) - [Up: 63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.63) ## Translations (2) - [The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-pargiter.63.p2) — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-mt.63.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.63.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.63.2) · Pramāṇa
