भीष्म–जामदग्न्यसंवादः (Amba-prasaṅga and Kurukṣetra Dvandva Declaration) / Bhishma–Jamadagnya Dialogue
तब मैंने पुन: अपने-आपको स्थिर करके कुपित हो उस युद्धमें परशुरामजीपर सैकड़ों बाण बरसाये ।।
sa tair agny-arka-saṅkāśaiḥ śarair āśīviṣopamaiḥ | śitair abhyardito rāmo manda-ceta iva abhavat ||
Tornei a firmar-me e, tomado de cólera, fiz chover sobre Paraśurāma centenas de flechas. Elas ardiam como o fogo e o sol, e eram terríveis como serpentes venenosas; agudas, cortantes. Ferido repetidas vezes por esses dardos afiados, Rāma pareceu como que entorpecido, como se a dor lhe embotasse os sentidos.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger and escalation in battle can overwhelm even the strongest, making one appear senseless; it implicitly commends restraint and clarity as essential to righteous conduct amid conflict.
In the course of a confrontation, Paraśurāma is repeatedly struck by extremely sharp arrows described as fire- and sun-like and as terrifying as venomous snakes, leaving him looking dazed and mentally dulled.
