Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
सहसा जामदग्न्यस्य सो5परान्तमहीतलम् । (यह सुनकर परशुरामजी चले गये) समुद्रने सहसा जमदग्निकुमार परशुरामजीके लिये जगह खाली करके शूर्पारक देशका निर्माण किया; जिसे अपरान्तभूमि भी कहते हैं ।।

Vāsudeva said: At once, the Ocean yielded ground for Jāmadagnya Paraśurāma. Hearing this, Paraśurāma departed. The sea quickly made space for Jamadagni’s son and brought into being the land called Śūrpāraka, also known as Aparānta. Then Kaśyapa, O king, accepted that earth.

Educational Q&A
Power and territory become ethically stable only when aligned with dharma: the warrior Paraśurāma withdraws, the world-order (symbolized by the Ocean) accommodates, and the land is received through a lawful, sage-mediated transfer (Kaśyapa), emphasizing restraint and legitimate succession over mere conquest.
The Ocean quickly yields space and forms the region called Śūrpāraka (also known as Aparānta) for Paraśurāma; after this, Paraśurāma departs, and the sage Kaśyapa formally accepts that land.
