Unspecified narrator addressing Devī (likely Śiva speaking to Pārvatī in a Śiva–Pārvatī dialogue frame)
Concept: When adharma accumulates as ‘earth’s burden,’ the Divine order manifests corrective power through a dharmic agent (here Paraśurāma).
Application: Confront injustice with disciplined restraint and principled courage; cultivate inner ‘tejas’ through sādhana so action serves dharma, not ego.
