Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
सहसा जामदग्न्यस्य सो5परान्तमहीतलम् । (यह सुनकर परशुरामजी चले गये) समुद्रने सहसा जमदग्निकुमार परशुरामजीके लिये जगह खाली करके शूर्पारक देशका निर्माण किया; जिसे अपरान्तभूमि भी कहते हैं ।।

Vāsudeva berkata: Serta-merta Lautan menyerahkan tanah bagi Jāmadagnya Paraśurāma. Mendengar demikian, Paraśurāma pun berangkat. Laut itu segera mengosongkan ruang untuk putera Jamadagni dan mewujudkan negeri bernama Śūrpāraka, yang juga disebut Aparānta. Lalu Kaśyapa, wahai raja, menerima bumi itu.

Educational Q&A
Power and territory become ethically stable only when aligned with dharma: the warrior Paraśurāma withdraws, the world-order (symbolized by the Ocean) accommodates, and the land is received through a lawful, sage-mediated transfer (Kaśyapa), emphasizing restraint and legitimate succession over mere conquest.
The Ocean quickly yields space and forms the region called Śūrpāraka (also known as Aparānta) for Paraśurāma; after this, Paraśurāma departs, and the sage Kaśyapa formally accepts that land.
