ततो जग्राह रोषेण क्षत्रियर्षभसूदनम् । रामो दाशरअथिर्दिव्यं हस्तादू रामस्य कार्मुकम्,तब दशरथनन्दन श्रीरामजीने रोषपूर्वक परशुरामका वह वीर क्षत्रियोंका संहारक दिव्य धनुष उनके हाथसे ले लिया। भारत! उन्होंने लीलापूर्वक प्रत्यज्चा चढ़ा दी। तत्पश्चात् पराक्रमी श्रीरामचन्द्रजीने मुसकराते हुए धनुषकी टंकार फैलायी
tato jagrāha roṣeṇa kṣatriyarṣabhasūdanam | rāmo dāśarathir divyaṃ hastād rāmasya kārmukam ||
Then, in a surge of righteous anger, Rāma, the son of Daśaratha—he who had once humbled the foremost of kṣatriyas—took from Paraśurāma’s hand the divine bow. O Bhārata, with effortless mastery he strung it, and thereafter the valiant Śrī Rāmacandra, smiling, let its resonant twang spread far and wide—an ethical warning that power must be restrained by dharma, and that pride, even in a mighty ascetic-warrior, must yield before rightful conduct.

Educational Q&A
Even extraordinary power and spiritual stature must submit to dharma: anger is justified only as moral indignation against arrogance, and true nobility is shown by controlled strength—asserting right order without descending into needless violence.
Lomaśa narrates how Rāma Dāśarathi, angered, takes the divine bow from Paraśurāma’s hand and strings it with ease; the bow’s twang publicly signals Rāma’s superior mastery and the curbing of Paraśurāma’s pride.
