Yoga-Sleep, Cosmic Dissolution, and the Lotus of Creation
with Mārkaṇḍeya’s Vision
एवं प्रक्षुभितः क्रोधान्मार्कंडेयो महामुनिः । तदैनं भगवान्भूयो बभाषे मधुसूदनः
evaṃ prakṣubhitaḥ krodhānmārkaṃḍeyo mahāmuniḥ | tadainaṃ bhagavānbhūyo babhāṣe madhusūdanaḥ
Так великий мудрец Маркандея, потрясённый гневом; тогда Благословенный Господь Мадхусудана вновь обратился к нему.
Madhusūdana (Viṣṇu)
Concept: Even when a sage is agitated by anger, Bhagavān returns to instruct—divine grace persists and reorients the devotee from krodha to clarity.
Application: When emotions surge, pause and ‘hear again’—return to prayer, scripture, or a trusted teacher; allow correction without defensiveness.

FAQs
Madhusūdana (a name of Viṣṇu) is speaking, and he addresses the great sage Mārkaṇḍeya.
He is described as prakṣubhitaḥ—deeply agitated or shaken—due to krodha (anger).
Even when a revered sage is overtaken by anger, the text frames divine instruction as returning “again,” implying guidance, restraint, and restoration of clarity through higher counsel.
