Bhārgava’s Resolve after His Father’s Slaying
Parashurama’s Vow against the Kshatriyas
रामो ऽपि रथमारुह्य सन्नद्धः सशरं धनुः / गृहीत्वापूरयच्छङ्खं रुद्रदत्तममित्रजित्
rāmo 'pi rathamāruhya sannaddhaḥ saśaraṃ dhanuḥ / gṛhītvāpūrayacchaṅkhaṃ rudradattamamitrajit
Rama too, the conqueror of foes, mounted the chariot fully armed, took up his bow with arrows, and blew the conch bestowed by Rudra.
