Karna forgot his mantras and astras at the most critical moment and lost his life. On one occasion this hot-tempered Guru challenged his own disciple Bhishma to a fight-the latter proving to be better than his Guru.
While this work was going on, Parashurama often departed from his self imposed banishment and acted to help some divine cause. Thus one finds him guiding and helping Shri Krishna and Balarama in their struggle against Jara sandha. The two brothers escaped from Mathura to the Sahyadris with a view to take refuge in Karvirnagar. But it was Bhargavrama who took them to the Gomantak hills, a spot strategically more suited to the purpose of Krishna and Balarama and thus contributed to their victory.
