Bhārgava’s Resolve after His Father’s Slaying
Parashurama’s Vow against the Kshatriyas
ततः स शूरसेनादीन्हत्वा सबलवाहनान् / त्रणेन पातयामास क्षितौ क्षत्रियमण्डलम्
tataḥ sa śūrasenādīnhatvā sabalavāhanān / traṇena pātayāmāsa kṣitau kṣatriyamaṇḍalam
Then, having slain Śūrasena and the rest together with their forces and mounts, he cast the whole host of kṣatriyas down upon the earth like mere blades of grass.
