Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
अज्ञातं कार्तवीर्येण हैहयेन्द्रेण धीमता । तन्निमित्तमभूद् युद्ध जामदग्नेर्महात्मन:,उस बछड़ेके लाये जानेकी बात बुद्धिमान् हैहय-राज कार्तवीर्यको मालूम नहीं थी, तथापि उसीके लिये महात्मा परशुरामका उसके साथ घोर युद्ध छिड़ गया
ajñātaṁ kārtavīryeṇa haihayendreṇa dhīmatā | tannimittam abhūd yuddhaṁ jāmadagner mahātmanaḥ ||
વાસુદેવે કહ્યું—બુદ્ધિમાન હૈહયાધિપતિ કાર્તવીર્યને તે વાછરડું લાવ્યાની વાત અજાણી હતી; છતાં એ જ કારણસર મહાત્મા જામદગ્ન્ય (પરશુરામ) સાથે તેનું ઘોર યુદ્ધ શરૂ થયું.

Educational Q&A
Even when a party is unaware of a precipitating event, actions and their consequences can still culminate in major conflict; therefore vigilance, clear communication, and restraint are vital to prevent escalation and to uphold dharma.
Vāsudeva states that Kārtavīrya, the wise Haihaya ruler, did not know the particular incident that became the cause, yet that very cause led to a severe battle between him and Jāmadagnya (Paraśurāma).
