bhīṣma uvāca | tato mām abravīd rāmaḥ prahasann iva bhārata | diṣṭyā bhīṣma mayā sārthaṃ yoddhum icchasi saṅgare ||
ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ—ହେ ଭାରତବଂଶଜ! ତାପରେ ରାମ (ପରଶୁରାମ) ମନେ ହସୁଥିବା ପରି ମୋତେ କହିଲେ—‘ଭୀଷ୍ମ! ସଂଗ୍ରାମରେ ମୋ ସହ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ କରିବାକୁ ତୁମେ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଛ—ଏହା ଭାଗ୍ୟର କଥା।’

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the warrior ethic of meeting a challenge openly and the idea that even conflict can be framed as a test of honor and destiny—Parashurama treats Bhishma’s willingness to fight as a ‘fortunate’ occasion for proving strength and resolve.
Bhishma narrates that Parashurama addresses him with a faintly smiling, confident tone, welcoming Bhishma’s intention to fight him in battle—setting the stage for their famed confrontation.
