Akṛtavraṇa’s Account Begins: Gādhi–Satyavatī–Ṛcīka and the Bhārgava Lineage Prelude
रामस्य जामदग्न्यस्य चरितं देवसम्मितम् | हैहयाधिपतेश्नैव कार्तवीर्यस्य भारत,भारत! जमदग्निकुमार परशुराम तथा हैहयराज कार्तवीर्यका चरित्र देवताओंके तुल्य है
rāmasya jāmadagnyasya caritaṁ devasammitaṁ | haihayādhipateś caiva kārtavīryasya bhārata ||
アクリタヴラナは言った。「バーラタよ。ラーマ・ジャーマダグニャ（パラシュラーマ）の生涯は神々に比すべきものであり、またハイハヤ族の主カルタヴィーリヤの名高き物語も同様である。」

Educational Q&A
The verse frames the deeds of Paraśurāma and Kārtavīrya as ‘deva-sammita’—worthy of divine comparison—suggesting that extraordinary power and fame become ethically significant when remembered as exemplary narratives, inviting reflection on righteous conduct and the consequences of royal might.
Akṛtavraṇa introduces (or transitions into) the famed accounts of Paraśurāma, son of Jamadagni, and Kārtavīrya, ruler of the Haihayas, signaling that their intertwined stories are renowned and on a grand, near-mythic scale.
