Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya saw Lord Śiva suddenly appear within his heart. Lord Śiva’s golden hair resembled lightning, and he had three eyes, ten arms and a tall body that shone like the rising sun. He wore a tiger skin, and he carried a trident, a bow, arrows, a sword and a shield, along with prayer beads, a ḍamaru drum, a skull and an ax. Astonished, the sage came out of his trance and thought, “Who is this, and where has he come from?”

Translation
Mārkaṇḍeya saw Śiva suddenly appear within his heart. Śiva had golden hair resembled lightning. He had three eyes, ten arms and a tall body that shone like the rising sun. He wore a tiger skin, and carried a trident, a bow, arrows, a sword and a shield, along with prayer beads, a ḍamaru drum, a skull and an ax. Astonished, the sage came out of his trance and thought, "Who is this, and where has he come from?"
Personal Guidance
Markandeya sees Siva in his heart — golden hair like lightning, three eyes, ten arms, tall body, sun-like splendor. The full vision is overwhelming; the inner realm is not dimmer than the outer but more.
Reflection Questions
- Do I underestimate the inner realm as quieter or duller than the outer?
- What practice opens the inner volume even slightly?
