Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
ते विवृद्धा महावीर्या: पृथिवीपतयो5भवन् | राजन्! परावसुकी बात सुनकर भृगुवंशी परशुरामने पुनः शस्त्र उठा लिया। पहले उन्होंने जिन सैकड़ों क्षत्रियोंको छोड़ दिया था
te vivṛddhā mahāvīryāḥ pṛthivīpatayo 'bhavan | rājan!
Vāsudeva sprach: „O König, jene Männer, an Kraft und Heldenmut erstarkt, wurden zu mächtigen Herren der Erde.“ Im Zusammenhang bedeutet dies: Wird Unrecht nur verschont, ohne durch sittliche Läuterung verwandelt zu werden, kann es mit größerer Macht zurückkehren; Selbstbeherrschung ohne innere Reform lässt dieselben aggressiven Kräfte erneut als herrschende Machthaber auftreten.

Power tends to consolidate: those who are allowed to survive and recover can grow into formidable rulers. Ethically, it warns that social harm is not resolved merely by temporary restraint; lasting stability requires dharmic governance and inner reform, otherwise the same forces may return stronger.
Vāsudeva addresses the king and states that “they” (a previously referenced group) increased in strength and became powerful kings. The line functions as a narrative observation about the rise of rulers from those who had earlier been spared or left unchecked.
