इति श्रीमार्कण्डेयपुराणे दुः सहोत्पत्तिसमापनं नामैकपञ्चाशौऽध्यायः द्विपञ्चाशोऽध्यायः—
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।
इत्येष तामसः सर्गो ब्रह्मणोऽव्यक्तजन्मनः ।
रुद्रसर्गं प्रवक्ष्यामि तन्मे निगदतः शृणु ॥

Así concluye, en el Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, el capítulo quincuagésimo primero llamado “Conclusión del origen de Duḥsaha”. Dijo Mārkaṇḍeya: «De este modo termina esta creación tāmasa de Brahmā, cuyo nacimiento procede de lo Inmanifestado (Avyakta). Ahora describiré la creación vinculada con Rudra; escuchad mientras la expongo».

FAQs
The Purāṇa organizes reality through graded creations (sargas), implying that the cosmos unfolds through distinct modalities (guṇas) and divine functions; attentive listening to such accounts is framed as a means of right understanding.
Directly under Sarga (creation): it explicitly names a tāmasa sarga and announces the Rudra-sarga to follow.
‘Born of the unmanifest’ points to avyakta as the subtle ground of manifestation; the shift to Rudra-sarga signals the emergence of transformative/destructive power as an essential cosmic principle within the cycle of manifestation.
