Mārkaṇḍeya ##mArkaNDeya## beseeches Śiva Candraśekhara ##shiva chandrashekhara ## to protect him from Yama ##yama ## who had appeared as the bearer of early death; and iterates the rhetoric, that since he is under the protection of Candraśekhara ##chandrashekhara ##, what (harm) can Yama ##yama ## possibly do.

The shloka order and renumbering complies to the popular name of the composition.
