Shloka 1443
कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
एवमुक्तः प्रत्युवाच तरयम्बकं वरदं प्रभुम् उनके ऐसा कहनेपर परशुरामने वरदायक भगवान् त्रिलोचनको इस प्रकार उत्तर दिया
evam uktaḥ pratyuvāca tryambakaṃ varadaṃ prabhum
Así interpelado, Paraśurāma respondió a su vez a Tryambaka—el Señor de los tres ojos, dispensador de dones. El pasaje enmarca un instante de reverente invocación: una figura poderosa no replica con soberbia, sino que se vuelve hacia la fuente divina de autoridad y gracia, dando a entender que la acción decisiva y la consecuencia moral, en última instancia, se afirman en la voluntad del Señor y en la ética de los dones y los votos.

Educational Q&A
Power and outcomes in war and life are not merely personal achievements; they are conditioned by dharma and by the divine order. Addressing Śiva as ‘varada’ highlights the ethical weight of boons—gifts received (or sought) carry responsibilities and consequences.
After being spoken to, Paraśurāma responds by addressing Tryambaka (Śiva), the boon-giving Lord. The line functions as a transition into Paraśurāma’s reply/prayer, situating the ensuing speech within a devotional and consequential framework.
