Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
सर्वकर्मेत्यभिख्यात: स मां रक्षतु पार्थिव: । इसी प्रकार अमित शक्तिशाली यज्ञपरायण महर्षि पराशरने दयावश सौदासके पुत्रकी जान बचायी है
sarvakarmety abhikhyātaḥ sa māṃ rakṣatu pārthivaḥ |
Semoga raja yang termasyhur dengan nama “Sarvakarmā” melindungiku. Demikian pula, maharsi Parāśara yang amat perkasa dan tekun dalam yajña, karena belas kasih, menyelamatkan nyawa putra Saudāsa. Walau berstatus dwija, sang pangeran melakukan segala pekerjaan seperti kaum śūdra; maka ia dikenal sebagai “Sarvakarmā”. Semoga raja itu menjagaku.

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights compassion and protective responsibility as dharmic virtues: Parāśara’s mercy saves a life, and the epithet ‘Sarvakarmā’ underscores that ethical worth can be tied to conduct and service-like action rather than mere birth-status.
Vāsudeva invokes or praises a protector-figure called ‘Sarvakarmā’, explaining the origin of the name through a story: the sage Parāśara compassionately saved Saudāsa’s son, who—though regarded as dvija—performed all kinds of work like a śūdra and thus became renowned as ‘Sarvakarmā’; Vāsudeva then asks that king to protect him.
