Paraśurāma’s Vow and Jamadagni’s Teaching on Kṣamā
Forbearance
यस्तु दुष्टैस्तु दण्डाद्यैर्वचसापि च ताडितः / न च क्षोभमवाप्नोति स साधुः परिकीर्त्थते
yastu duṣṭaistu daṇḍādyairvacasāpi ca tāḍitaḥ / na ca kṣobhamavāpnoti sa sādhuḥ parikīrtthate
He whom the wicked strike with rod and the like, and even with harsh words, yet who does not become disturbed—he is proclaimed a sadhu.
