अम्बा–राम–भीष्म संवादः
Amba–Rama–Bhishma Dialogue on Vow and Refuge
एवमुक्क्त्वा ययौ राम: कुरुक्षेत्रं युयुत्सया । प्रविश्य नगरं चाहं सत्यवत्यै न्न्यवेदयम्,ऐसा कहकर परशुरामजी युद्धकी इच्छासे कुरुक्षेत्रमें गये और मैंने नगरमें प्रवेश करके सत्यवतीसे यह सारा समाचार निवेदन किया
evam uktvā yayau rāmaḥ kurukṣetraṁ yuyutsayā | praviśya nagaraṁ cāhaṁ satyavatyai nyavedayam ||
ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞ് രാമൻ (പരശുരാമൻ) യുദ്ധേച്ഛയോടെ കുരുക്ഷേത്രത്തിലേക്ക് പോയി. തുടർന്ന് ഞാൻ നഗരത്തിൽ പ്രവേശിച്ച് സത്യവതിയോട് ഈ മുഴുവൻ കാര്യവും അറിയിച്ചു.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Two duties are highlighted: the warrior’s resolve to face conflict when honor and obligation demand it, and the ethical responsibility to communicate truthfully and promptly to elders who bear familial and political authority.
After declaring his intent, Parashurama leaves for Kurukshetra seeking battle. Bhishma then returns to the city and conveys the full report of these developments to Satyavati, marking a shift from confrontation to counsel and family governance.
