Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
प्रत्यानयत राजेन्द्र तेषामन्तःपुरात् प्रभु: । राजेन्द्र! तब रोषमें भरे हुए प्रभावशाली जमदग्निनन्दन परशुरामने अर्जुनकी उन भुजाओंको काट डाला और इधर-उधर घूमते हुए उस बछड़ेको वे हैहयोंके अन्तःपुरसे निकालकर अपने आश्रममें ले आये ।।
pratyānayat rājendra teṣām antaḥpurāt prabhuḥ |
Wahai raja terbaik, sang penguasa yang perkasa itu membawanya kembali dari dalam istana bagian dalam mereka.

Educational Q&A
Even when wrongdoing is protected by royal privilege and hidden within the ‘inner palace,’ dharma demands restoration of what is unjustly seized; legitimate authority is shown by correcting injustice, not by shielding it.
Vāsudeva narrates that a powerful figure retrieves something back from the enemy’s inner palace—an image of reclaiming what was taken and re-establishing rightful order in the Rāmopākhyāna context.
