मुखजेनाग्निना क्रुद्धों लोकानुद्)र्तयन्निव । क्षणेन राजशार्दूल पुरेव कपिल: प्रभु:
mukhajenāgninā kruddho lokān uddhartayann iva | kṣaṇena rājaśārdūla pureva kapilaḥ prabhuḥ ||
قال ماركاندييا: «وقد استبدّ به الغضب، بدا كأنه يُحرق العوالم بالنار الخارجة من فمه؛ وفي لحظة واحدة، يا نمرَ الملوك، صار ذلك الجبار ككابيلا القديم.»

The verse highlights the terrifying potency of uncontrolled wrath, especially when joined to extraordinary power: anger can become world-consuming, threatening cosmic order and ethical balance.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes a powerful figure who, in sudden rage, appears to emit fire from his mouth and overwhelm the worlds, being compared to the ancient sage Kapila, famed in tradition for a destructive blaze born of ascetic might.
