O all-pervading lord, since I have received the benediction of seeing you, what other benediction can I ask for? Simply by seeing you, a person fulfills all his desires and can achieve anything imaginable.

Translation
O all-pervading lord! Since I have received the benediction of seeing you, what other benediction can I ask for? Simply by seeing you, a person fulfills all his desires and can achieve anything imaginable.
Śiva told him to ask for a boon. This is his reply. From receiving the blessing of seeing you, whatever is desired is obtained (satya-kāmaḥ).
Personal Guidance
'Since I have already received the benediction of seeing You, what else can I ask?' Markandeya recognizes the fullness already given. Most of our seeking is in places where He has already answered.
Reflection Questions
- What gift have I already been given that I keep asking for, missing that it is here?
- What changes when I let myself receive what was already granted?
