जामदग्न्यश्न विप्राय भूमिं दत््वा महायशा: । रामो3क्षयांस्तथा लोकान् जगाम मनसो5डघिकान्
Jāmadagnyāya viprāya bhūmiṁ dattvā mahāyaśāḥ | Rāmo 'kṣayāṁs tathā lokān jagāma manaso 'dhikān ||
قال بهيشما: إنّ راما ذائع الصيت، ابنَ جامَدَغني (باراشوراما)، بعدما تصدّق بالأرض للبراهمن، بلغ عوالم لا تفنى—ممالك تعلو حتى على ما يطيقه الخيال.

Educational Q&A
That giving (dāna) and renunciation performed according to dharma—especially the relinquishing of worldly sovereignty—yields imperishable spiritual results, described as ‘akṣaya’ realms beyond ordinary mental imagining.
Bhishma cites Parashurama (Rama, son of Jamadagni) as an exemplar: after donating the earth/land as a gift to a Brahmin, he is said to have attained imperishable worlds, illustrating the fruit of righteous generosity.
