अम्बा–राम–भीष्म संवादः
Amba–Rama–Bhishma Dialogue on Vow and Refuge
संरम्भादब्रवीद् राम: क्रोधपर्याकुलेक्षण:
saṃrambhād abravīd rāmaḥ krodha-paryākulekṣaṇaḥ | śatru-damana duryodhana! paraśurāmaḥ jīne krodha-bhare netrābhyāṃ paśyan mahā-roṣāveśam āgamya idaṃ vacaḥ uvāca | tathāpi ahaṃ priya-vacanaiḥ bhṛgu-śreṣṭhaṃ mahātmānaṃ punaḥ punaḥ śānta-bhāvāya prārthayām āsa; sa tu kathaṃcid api śāntaḥ na babhūva ||
قال راما: «يا دُريودَهَنا، يا قاهرَ الأعداء! إن باراشوراما، وعيناه مضطربتان بالغضب، نطق بهذه الكلمات في فوران سخطٍ عارم. ومع ذلك فقد حاولتُ مرارًا وتكرارًا أن أُهدّئ تلك النفس العظيمة—أشرفَ رجال آلِ بهريغو—بكلامٍ لطيفٍ مُرضٍ، أستحثّه على السكينة؛ لكنه لم يُستطع تهدئته على أي وجه.»

Educational Q&A
Even when confronted with intense wrath—especially from a revered ascetic—one should attempt conciliation through gentle speech and repeated appeals to calm. The passage highlights the ethical priority of self-restraint and peacemaking, while also acknowledging that anger can become ungovernable once it overwhelms discernment.
Parashurama (Rama) addresses Duryodhana, describing how Parashurama, eyes inflamed with anger, spoke in a burst of fury. The speaker reports that he repeatedly tried to pacify the Bhargava sage with pleasing words, but Parashurama would not calm down.
