Verse 38

³⁸Having given the sage these boons, the three-eyed Lord went away, telling the goddess of that work of his which the sage had lived through before. ³⁹And he too, best of the Bhargavas, having got the greatness of the great yoga, wanders even now, come to have Hari and nothing else in view. ⁴⁰This has now been told over to you: the astonishing display of the Bhagavan's maya, which the thoughtful Markandeya lived through. ⁴¹This is the self's own round of birth made of maya, turning for men without a beginning; some who do not know speak of it as something that happens now and then. ⁴²Best of the Bhrgus, whoever tells this out as it has been told here, steeped in the power of him who holds the wheel in his hand, and whoever hears it: for those two both, the round of birth that comes of the store of works would not be.
