विश्वरूपेण वै येन पाताले क्षपितो बलिः । त्रिःसप्तवारं येनैव क्षत्रियानवनीतले
viśvarūpeṇa vai yena pātāle kṣapito baliḥ | triḥsaptavāraṃ yenaiva kṣatriyānavanītale
Nhờ hình tướng vũ trụ (Viśvarūpa) của Ngài, Bali bị quật xuống Pātāla; và cũng bởi Ngài, các kṣatriya trên mặt đất bị diệt trừ hai mươi bảy lần.
Unspecified (contextual narrator within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa; likely Sūta addressing sages)
Scene: A cosmic Viśvarūpa overwhelms Bali, opening into vast realms; then Paraśurāma, axe in hand, stands amid repeated campaigns against oppressive kṣatriyas—depicted as a stern dharma-corrective force.
When power becomes oppressive, the Divine restrains it—sometimes through cosmic authority, sometimes through decisive correction—to re-establish dharma.
