mārkaṇḍeya uvāca
tataḥ pitā yathāvṛttaṃ svarājyacyāvanādikam /
tasyācaṣṭe mahābahuḥ putrasya jagatīpatiḥ //

Mārkaṇḍeya spoke:
Thereupon his father, the large-armed king, narrated to his son how he was ousted from his kingdom and all other events. And on hearing all that, he invoked the sun and obtained celestial weapons together with the spells that controlled them in their completeness. Having mastered the use of the weapons he vanquished those enemies, and bringing them near his father released them, when they were permitted by the father to depart, observing thus his own righteousness. And his father, after seeing his son’s face happy, quitted his body and attained to the worlds, which he had won for his own by austerities and sacrifices.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
