Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
वासुदेव उवाच ततः सत्यवती पुत्रं जनयामास भार्गवम् । तपस्यभिरतं शान्तं जमदग्निं यतव्रतम्,श्रीकृष्ण बोले--राजन्! तदनन्तर सत्यवतीने शान्त, संयमपरायण और तपस्वी भृगुवंशी जमदग्निको पुत्रके रूपमें उत्पन्न किया
vāsudeva uvāca tataḥ satyavatī putraṃ janayāmāsa bhārgavam | tapasyabhirataṃ śāntaṃ jamadagniṃ yatavratam ||
বাসুদেৱে ক’লে—তাৰ পিছত সত্যৱতীয়ে ভৃগুবংশীয় এক পুত্ৰ জন্ম দিলে—জমদগ্নি; যি তপস্যাত ৰত, স্বভাৱত শান্ত আৰু সংযমব্ৰতত অচল আছিল।
वासुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights an ethical ideal: true spiritual stature is marked by tapas (austerity), śānti (inner peace), and yama/niyama-like restraint (disciplined vows). Noble lineage is presented as meaningful when expressed through character and self-control.
Vāsudeva narrates a genealogical and moral-historical sequence: Satyavatī gives birth to Jamadagni, identified as a Bhārgava sage distinguished by austerity, tranquility, and disciplined conduct.
