Bhārgava’s Resolve after His Father’s Slaying
Parashurama’s Vow against the Kshatriyas
ततस्ते भग्नसंकल्पा हतस्वबलवाहनाः / हतशिष्टा नृपतयो दुद्रुवुः सर्वतोदिशम्
tataste bhagnasaṃkalpā hatasvabalavāhanāḥ / hataśiṣṭā nṛpatayo dudruvuḥ sarvatodiśam
Then those kings, their resolve shattered and their forces and mounts destroyed, the few survivors fled in haste in every direction.
