स तेषु तर्पयामास भृगून्‌ भगुकुलोद्वह: । साक्षाद्‌ ददर्श चर्चीक॑ स च राम॑ न्यवारयत्‌,भगुकुलभूषण रामने उन कुण्डोंमें भूगुवंशी पितरोंका तर्पण किया और उस समय साक्षात्‌ प्रकट हुए महर्षि ऋचीकको देखा। उन्होंने परशुरामको इस घोर कर्मसे रोका

sa teṣu tarpayāmāsa bhṛgūn bhṛgukulodvahaḥ | sākṣād dadarśa ṛcīkaṃ sa ca rāmaṃ nyavārayat ||

ഭൃഗുകുലത്തിന്റെ ശ്രേഷ്ഠനായ രാമൻ ആ കുണ്ഡങ്ങളിൽ ഭൃഗുവംശീയ പിതൃക്കൾക്ക് തർപ്പണം നടത്തി. അപ്പോൾ തന്നെ അദ്ദേഹം മഹർഷി ഋചീകനെ സാക്ഷാൽ പ്രത്യക്ഷനായതായി കണ്ടു; ഋചീകൻ പരശുരാമനെ ആ ഭീകരകർമ്മത്തിൽ നിന്ന് തടഞ്ഞു.

Educational Q&A

Even a mighty warrior must submit to dharma-guided restraint: ancestral piety and reverence for sages culminate in being checked from a ‘ghora’ (dreadful) action when a higher ethical counsel appears.

Rama (Paraśurāma), described as the pride of the Bhṛgu line, performs tarpaṇa for the Bhṛgu ancestors at sacred waters. Sage Ṛcīka then appears directly and prevents Rama from proceeding with a terrible act.
