Rāma–Jāmadagnya-janma-kāraṇa and Kṣatra-kṣaya
Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
ते विवृद्धा महावीर्या: पृथिवीपतयो5भवन् | राजन्! परावसुकी बात सुनकर भृगुवंशी परशुरामने पुनः शस्त्र उठा लिया। पहले उन्होंने जिन सैकड़ों क्षत्रियोंको छोड़ दिया था
te vivṛddhā mahāvīryāḥ pṛthivīpatayo 'bhavan | rājan!
Vāsudeva berkata: “Wahai Raja, mereka semua bertambah kuat dan gagah, lalu menjadi penguasa-penguasa besar di bumi.” Mendengar ucapan Parāvasu, Paraśurāma dari wangsa Bhṛgu kembali mengangkat senjata. Mereka—ratusan kṣatriya—yang dahulu ia biarkan hidup, justru tumbuh dan kemudian duduk sebagai raja-raja perkasa.

Educational Q&A
Power tends to consolidate: those who are allowed to survive and recover can grow into formidable rulers. Ethically, it warns that social harm is not resolved merely by temporary restraint; lasting stability requires dharmic governance and inner reform, otherwise the same forces may return stronger.
Vāsudeva addresses the king and states that “they” (a previously referenced group) increased in strength and became powerful kings. The line functions as a narrative observation about the rise of rulers from those who had earlier been spared or left unchecked.
