आत्मन्यपि शिवं प्राप्तं तडित्पिङ्गजटाधरम् ।त्र्यक्षं दशभुजं प्रांशुमुद्यन्तमिव भास्करम् ॥ ११ ॥व्याघ्रचर्माम्बरं शूलधनुरिष्वसिचर्मभि: ।अक्षमालाडमरुककपालं परशुं सह ॥ १२ ॥बिभ्राणं सहसा भातं विचक्ष्य हृदि विस्मित: ।किमिदं कुत एवेति समाधेर्विरतो मुनि: ॥ १३ ॥

ITRANS:

ātmany api śivaṁ prāptaṁtaḍit-piṅga-jaṭā-dharamtry-akṣaṁ daśa-bhujaṁ prāṁśumudyantam iva bhāskaram

Translation:

Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya saw Lord Śiva suddenly appear within his heart. Lord Śiva’s golden hair resembled lightning, and he had three eyes, ten arms and a tall body that shone like the rising sun. He wore a tiger skin, and he carried a trident, a bow, arrows, a sword and a shield, along with prayer beads, a ḍamaru drum, a skull and an ax. Astonished, the sage came out of his trance and thought, “Who is this, and where has he come from?”
