Countless millions of years passed as Mārkaṇḍeya wandered about in that deluge, his mind bewildered by the illusory energy of Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Gauḍīya
Translation
Countless millions of years passed as Mārkaṇḍeya wandered about in that deluge, his mind bewildered by the illusory energy of Viṣṇu.
Personal Guidance
Countless millions of years pass as Markandeya wanders, his mind bewildered by the Lord's illusory energy. Asked questions sometimes get answered in vast, lived form. Be ready: the answer to what you asked may be a journey.
Reflection Questions
- Have I asked anything of the Lord I am still receiving the answer to?
- How would I act if I understood the long journey as the answer itself?
