Purāṇic narrator
Listener: Ṛṣis/assembly (contextual)
Scene: Paraśurāma strides as if surveying the whole earth—mountains, forests, oceans—his vow turning into a world-spanning mission.
The Purāṇic vision places human violence against the vast cosmic order, implying that adharma disturbs not only society but the harmony of the world.
No single tīrtha is named; the verse uses cosmographic language as a prelude to later localization at Samantapañcaka.
None; it is descriptive narration.
