Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages
सर्वकर्मेत्यभिख्यात: स मां रक्षतु पार्थिव: । इसी प्रकार अमित शक्तिशाली यज्ञपरायण महर्षि पराशरने दयावश सौदासके पुत्रकी जान बचायी है, वह राजकुमार द्विज होकर भी शूद्रोंके समान सब कर्म करता है; इसलिये 'सर्वकर्मा" नामसे विख्यात है। वह राजा होकर मेरी रक्षा करे
sarvakarmety abhikhyātaḥ sa māṃ rakṣatu pārthivaḥ |
‘ସର୍ବକର୍ମା’ ନାମରେ ଖ୍ୟାତ ସେଇ ପାର୍ଥିବ ମୋତେ ରକ୍ଷା କରୁନ୍ତୁ। ଏହିପରି ଅମିତଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ଯଜ୍ଞପରାୟଣ ମହର୍ଷି ପରାଶର ଦୟାବଶେ ସୌଦାସଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ରର ପ୍ରାଣ ରକ୍ଷା କରିଥିଲେ। ସେ ରାଜକୁମାର ଦ୍ୱିଜ ହୋଇ ମଧ୍ୟ ଶୂଦ୍ରମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ସମସ୍ତ କର୍ମ କରେ; ତେଣୁ ‘ସର୍ବକର୍ମା’ ବୋଲି ପ୍ରସିଦ୍ଧ। ସେଇ ରାଜା ମୋତେ ରକ୍ଷା କରୁନ୍ତୁ।

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights compassion and protective responsibility as dharmic virtues: Parāśara’s mercy saves a life, and the epithet ‘Sarvakarmā’ underscores that ethical worth can be tied to conduct and service-like action rather than mere birth-status.
Vāsudeva invokes or praises a protector-figure called ‘Sarvakarmā’, explaining the origin of the name through a story: the sage Parāśara compassionately saved Saudāsa’s son, who—though regarded as dvija—performed all kinds of work like a śūdra and thus became renowned as ‘Sarvakarmā’; Vāsudeva then asks that king to protect him.
