sūtaḥ uvāca - Sūta Gosvāmī said; saḥ - he, Mārkaṇḍeya; evam - in this way; anubhūya - experiencing; idam - this; nārāyaṇa-vinirmitam - manufactured by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyaṇa; vaibhavam - the opulent exhibition; yoga-māyāyāḥ - of His internal mystic energy; tam - to Him; eva - indeed; śaraṇam - for shelter; yayau - he went.

Sūta Gosvāmī said: The Supreme Lord Nārāyaṇa had arranged this opulent display of His bewildering potency. Mārkaṇḍeya Ṛṣi, having experienced it, took shelter of the Lord.
