भीष्म–जामदग्न्यसंवादः (Amba-prasaṅga and Kurukṣetra Dvandva Declaration) / Bhishma–Jamadagnya Dialogue
ततो न प्राहरं भूयो जामदग्न्याय भारत,भारत! उसके बादसे मैंने परशुरामजीपर फिर प्रहार नहीं किया। इधर सहस्र किरणोंवाले भगवान् सूर्य इस पृथ्वीको तपाकर दिनका अन्त होनेपर अस्त हो गये; इसलिये वह युद्ध बंद हो गया
tato na prāharaṃ bhūyo jāmadagnyāya bhārata
তেতিয়া, হে ভাৰত, মই জামদগ্নিৰ পুত্ৰ পৰশুৰামৰ ওপৰত পুনৰ আঘাত নকৰিলোঁ। ইফালে সহস্ৰ-কিৰণ সূৰ্যই পৃথিৱী তপাই দিনৰ অন্তত অস্ত গ’ল; সেয়ে সেই যুদ্ধ থমকি গ’ল।

Educational Q&A
Even in justified conflict, restraint is a virtue: once the point is made and the opponent is no longer to be pressed, further violence is withheld. Additionally, cosmic order—here the setting of the Sun—sets limits on human aggression, reminding warriors that time and dharma govern battle.
Rāma states that after a certain point he did not strike Jāmadagnya (Paraśurāma) again. As the Sun set at day’s end, the battle naturally ceased, marking a pause/closure to the day’s combat.
