Indra–Vṛtra Conflict and the Adversaries’ Tapas-Targeting Counsel
सरामं विह्नलं कृत्वा तेजश्चाक्षिप्प केवलम् | आगच्छज्ज्वलितो बाणो रामबाहुप्रचोदित:,श्रीरामचन्द्रजीकी भुजाओंसे प्रेरित हुआ वह प्रज्वलित बाण परशुरामजीको व्याकुल करके केवल उनके तेजको छीनकर पुन: लौट आया
sarāmaṁ vihvalaṁ kṛtvā tejaś cākṣipya kevalam | āgacchaj jvalito bāṇo rāma-bāhu-pracoditaḥ ||
那燃烧的神箭，由罗摩雄臂所驱，击中帕罗修罗摩，使其震惧失措；却并未夺其性命——只抽去了他的武威光辉与战斗的神力。此一克制而有度的举措既成，神箭便回返。此段彰显用力之道：胜而不滥杀，强而守其义，以德为界。

Educational Q&A
Even when one possesses overwhelming power, dharma favors measured action: the aim is to neutralize harmful pride or aggression, not to inflict needless death. The removal of 'tejas' symbolizes curbing arrogance and restoring balance through restraint.
A blazing arrow, launched by Rāma, strikes Paraśurāma and leaves him shaken; it strips away only his 'tejas' (martial/spiritual potency) and then returns, indicating a decisive yet restrained victory.
