凭借那柄刃口永不钝折的战斧,光焰炽盛,如烈火之辉,他在诸世界中成了无可比拟之人。依靠这柄威力无量、强大莫测的战斧,帕罗修罗摩在四方处处获得了无与伦比的英雄声名。
वासुदेव उवाच
Extraordinary prowess is portrayed as arising from an unfailing instrument and inner splendor; ethically, the verse highlights how power (śakti) can elevate one’s stature across the worlds, implying the need for dharmic restraint in its use.
Vāsudeva describes Paraśurāma’s fearsome excellence: armed with an axe whose edge never dulls and shining like fire, he becomes unmatched throughout the worlds due to that immeasurable weapon-power.
