Parasurama
Next day Morning Sage Viswamithra took leave from Dasaratha and Janaka and whole heartedly blessed the 4 Princes and their Consorts and left for Himalayas. Then Dasaratha bid adieu to Janaka and wanted to start for Ayodhya . During that time King Janaka gave thousands of Cow , Carpets, Elephants duly adorned,Horses Chariots, Lot of gold, Silver along with his Daughter to King Dasaratha. He accompanied Dasratha for long distance and then returned to Mythila.
While Dasratha was returning with Saints, Ministers, relations and others the Birds including Crows were howling. But the Animlas went around on the clockwise direction. Dasaratha asked Saint Vasishtaa why this happening, I am not feeling comfortable. Why is it so?. Saint Vasishtaa replied Danger is in the offing that is what is the Omen from the Birds but animals are indicating it will get resolved. So no reasons to worry.
As they were talking there was typhoon like wind and made the Earth tremble. Big trees uprooted and fell, The Sun was overshadowed, All directions were closed, All the articles were covered with dust. Except the Princes and Sage Vasishtaa and King Dasarathaa rest fell unconscious.so it became dark all over Sage Parasurama came with matted hair and his Kettle like Pot, holding Lightning like Bow and Arrows in his hands and Axe which wipes out Enemies from their Roots mounted on his shoulders stood before them. Son of Jhamadagni and born in Brighu clan that Brahmin was shining like Volcanic Fireball seen during Deluge. He could not be seen by ordinary men and was towering in personality like Mount Kailash in Himalayas. He looked like God Parama Siva who won over the Trhipura Asura; having already wiped out many a King’s Dynasty earlier. At that Time sage Vasishtaa and other Rishis were discussing amongst themselves that “ This person whose father was killed by a King(Kshatriya ie Warrior clan), became angry and went on a Killing spree of many a King many times in revenge and thus completed his Vow. And he forsake his Anger and then retruned to his normal behavior, and he should not be having the vengeance to wirpe out the Kshatriya Vamsa (Warrior Clan) , Why is he seem to be so Angry now?“ spoke amongst themselves. Then the took Argyam Padhyam and benignly called him in pleasant words “ RAMA RAMA”Then he accepted the puja and was looking at Sri Rama keenly. (Slokas 26)
