Translation
As Mārkaṇḍeya beheld the child, all his weariness vanished. Indeed, so great was his pleasure that the lotus of his heart, along with his lotus eyes, fully blossomed and the hairs on his body stood on end. Confused as to the identity of the wonderful infant, the sage approached Him.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
From seeing the child, all his weariness vanished. Because of joy, the lotus of his heart, along with his lotus eyes, fully blossomed, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Wondering about the identity of the wonderful infant, the sage approached him to ask.
He had doubt about that astonishing form (bhāva). It could not be an ordinary child. He approached to ask.
Purport
Mārkaṇḍeya wanted to ask the child about His identity and therefore approached Him.
