एवं ब्रुवाणो गान्धारे रामो मां सत्यविक्रम: । शरब्रातेन महता सर्वतः प्रत्यवारयत्,गान्धारीनन्दन! ऐसा कहते हुए सत्यपराक्रमी परशुरामजीने मुझे सब ओरसे अपने बाणोंके महान् समुदायद्वारा आवृत कर लिया
evaṁ bruvāṇo gāndhāre rāmo māṁ satyavikramaḥ | śaravrātena mahatā sarvataḥ pratyavārayat ||
「ガーンダーリーの子よ。真の武勇を備えたラーマ（パラシュラーマ）がそう言い終えるや、彼は夥しい矢の群れで四方から私を包囲した。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that when counsel and speech reach their limit, responsibility is borne through disciplined action. True valor (satyavikrama) is not mere aggression but steadiness and control in the face of danger, expressed here through precise martial restraint.
Bhīṣma recounts to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Paraśurāma, after speaking, surrounded and checked Bhīṣma on all sides with a dense barrage of arrows—an escalation in their duel where Paraśurāma attempts to dominate the field and restrict Bhīṣma’s movement.
