Drona–Dhrishtadyumna Battle Description

Devanagari script

जामदग्न्यो ह्ृतियशा मरिष्यति महाद्युति: । इस प्रकार भूगुकुलकी कीर्ति बढ़ानेवाले महायशस्वी, महातेजस्वी और सैकड़ों गुणोंसे सम्पन्न जमदग्निनन्दन परशुराम भी एक-न-एक दिन मरेंगे ही

Transliteration

jāmadagnyo hṛtiyaśā mariṣyati mahādyutiḥ |

Translation

Nārada said: “Even Jāmadagnya Paraśurāma—renowned for his glory and blazing with great splendor—will, one day or another, surely die.” In the midst of war-narrative and heroic reputations, the verse underscores an ethical reminder: no fame, lineage, or power can exempt anyone from mortality, and therefore pride and attachment to status are ultimately futile.
