भीष्म–रामजामदग्न्ययुद्धप्रस्थानवर्णनम्
Bhishma’s Account of Parashurama’s Challenge and the March to Kurukshetra
तेन त्वभिहतो गाढं बाणवेगवशं गतः । मुमोह समरे रामो भूमौ च निपपात ह,उसकी गहरी चोट खाकर परशुरामजी उस बाणके वेगके अधीन हो समरभूमिमें मूर्च्छित हो गये और धरतीपर गिर पड़े
tena tv abhihato gāḍhaṃ bāṇavegavaśaṃ gataḥ | mumoha samare rāmo bhūmau ca nipapāta ha ||
毗湿摩说道：罗摩（帕拉修罗摩）被那一箭重重击中，又为其疾势所制，遂在战阵之中昏厥，倒落尘土。此景昭示：在战争里，即便最强者也可能被一击之势所压倒；一箭若中，便足以使雄躯俯伏，提醒人们在所谓正义的冲突中，肉身之力终有其限。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the sobering truth that physical prowess is limited: in the dynamics of battle, even a renowned warrior-sage like Paraśurāma can be overpowered by the force of an arrow. It implicitly cautions against pride in strength and points to the gravity and unpredictability of violent conflict.
In Bhīṣma’s narration of the combat, Paraśurāma is struck severely by an arrow; carried away by its momentum, he loses consciousness on the battlefield and collapses to the earth.
