Paraśurāma Avenges Jamadagni; Restoration Through Sacrifice; Viśvāmitra’s Line and Devarāta (Śunaḥśepha)
दृष्ट्वाग्न्यागार आसीनमावेशितधियं मुनिम् । भगवत्युत्तमश्लोके जघ्नुस्ते पापनिश्चया: ॥ ११ ॥
dṛṣṭvāgny-āgāra āsīnam āveśita-dhiyaṁ munim bhagavaty uttamaśloke jaghnus te pāpa-niścayāḥ
Die Söhne Kārtavīryārjunas waren entschlossen, sündhafte Taten zu begehen. Als sie Jamadagni am Opferfeuer sitzen und über die Höchste Persönlichkeit Gottes meditieren sahen, töteten sie ihn.
This verse depicts it as a grave act born of “pāpa-niścaya” (sinful resolve): even a sage absorbed in the Lord is attacked, implying severe karmic and spiritual consequences.
A muni (sage) is described as seated in the sacrificial enclosure with his mind fully absorbed in the Supreme Lord, Uttamaśloka.
It warns against acting from hardened negativity and malice; instead, cultivate reverence for spiritual practice and protect the peaceful, God-centered life of others.
