कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
एवमुक्तः प्रत्युवाच तरयम्बकं वरदं प्रभुम् उनके ऐसा कहनेपर परशुरामने वरदायक भगवान् त्रिलोचनको इस प्रकार उत्तर दिया
evam uktaḥ pratyuvāca tryambakaṃ varadaṃ prabhum
Demikian ditegur, Paraśurāma pun menjawab kembali kepada Tryambaka—Tuhan bermata tiga, pemberi anugerah. Petikan ini membingkai saat seruan yang penuh takzim: seorang tokoh perkasa tidak membalas dengan keangkuhan, tetapi menoleh kepada sumber kuasa dan rahmat ilahi, menandakan bahawa tindakan yang tegas serta akibat moral pada akhirnya berakar pada kehendak Tuhan dan etika anugerah serta sumpah.

Educational Q&A
Power and outcomes in war and life are not merely personal achievements; they are conditioned by dharma and by the divine order. Addressing Śiva as ‘varada’ highlights the ethical weight of boons—gifts received (or sought) carry responsibilities and consequences.
After being spoken to, Paraśurāma responds by addressing Tryambaka (Śiva), the boon-giving Lord. The line functions as a transition into Paraśurāma’s reply/prayer, situating the ensuing speech within a devotional and consequential framework.
