एवं प्रक्षुभितः क्रोधान्मार्कंडेयो महामुनिः । तदैनं भगवान्भूयो बभाषे मधुसूदनः
evaṃ prakṣubhitaḥ krodhānmārkaṃḍeyo mahāmuniḥ | tadainaṃ bhagavānbhūyo babhāṣe madhusūdanaḥ
Sa gayon, ang dakilang muni na si Mārkaṇḍeya, yumanig sa galit; at noon, muling nagsalita sa kanya ang Mapalad na Panginoon, si Madhusūdana.
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).
