Translation: 
 
Suta Gosvami said: Drinking with his ears Lord Siva’s nectarean words, full of the confidential essence of religion, Markandeya Rsi could not be satiated.
 
Purport: 
 
Markandeya Rsi was not eager to hear himself praised by Lord Siva, but he appreciated Lord Siva’s deep realization of religious principles and therefore desired to hear more.
