BHAGAWAN PARASURAM OF PHEDE

HIS PITRU BHAKTHI

Returning home after obtaining the more coveted astras, he had a problem to face, but here again his superior mettle won for him unprecedented appreciation. Jamadagni enraged at Renuka's delay in reaching house with water pot, due to her witnessing of the Jalakrida of King Chitrarata, ordered his four sons one after another to behead her. But none accepted, deeming the father's action was unjust. When Parasurama was bidden, he did sever her head without any second thought; for, he knew that father being earthly god should always be obeyed implicitly. Delighted at his pithrubhakti, he asked him to name any boon. Parasuram at once asked for the revival of his mother with taposakti. It was granted anon. So, he scored victory over his father. His matrubhakti too was unequalled though it appears, his pateral love weighed heavier than maternal. Wasn't he a compound of extremes? Intensity marked everyone of his actions, and it virtually propelled him into action - terrific or pacific.
