Educational Q&A
The verse links greatness to both noble origin (a revered rishi-lineage) and inner excellence (tejas and guṇa), suggesting that power gains legitimacy when grounded in virtue and disciplined character.
Bhīṣma introduces Paraśurāma by first naming his father Jamadagni and the Bhārgava lineage, then highlighting Paraśurāma’s fame and qualities—setting up Paraśurāma’s stature and influence in the surrounding discussion.
