Hear the Truth

jai Sri Ram,
Hear the Truth, O Lord of Bhrgus,

If, as you say, i treat with disrespect because you are a Brahman,

Who is the gallant warrior in the world i would bow my head out of fear,

A god, demon, a king of a body of warrior, whether my equal in strength or more powerful than myself-should any of these challenges me to combat, i would gladly fight with him, no matter if it is a death,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

O sage, think before you speak

Jai sri Ram,
Said sri Rama-O sage, think before you speak,

Your anger is out of all proportion with my error, which is a trifling one,

Worn out as it was, the bow broke at mere touch,

What reason have I to be proud,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

conquered the whole world

Jai sri Ram,
In this way i have performed millions of sacrifices in the shape of armed conflicts, accompanied by the muttering of sacred formulas in the shape of war-cries,

My Glory is not known to you, that is why you address me in contemptuous terms mistaken me a mere Brahman,

Since you have broken the bow, your arrogance has transgressed all limits,

In your self esteem you stand as if you have conquered the whole world,

May lord bless all,

Thanks Please

offered as sacrifice

Jai sri Ram,
Again and again dis Rama address His namesake as a sage and a great Brahman, till Sri Parshurama exclaimed in his fury,

You are as perverse as your younger brother,

You known me to be a mere Brahman, I tell you what  kind of a Brahman i am,

Know that the bow is my sacrificial ladle, the arrows my oblation and my wrath, the blazing fire, the brilliant fourfold forces are fuel, and mighty princes have served as victims, whom i have cut to pieces with this very axe and offered as sacrifice,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

O holy sir, forgive my faults

Jai sri Ram,
What comparison, my Lord, can there be between you and me,

Tell me if there is any affinity between the head and feet,

Mine is a small name consisting of the single word Rama,

Whereas your is a long one, having the word Parasu prefixed to Rama, whereas there is only one string to my bow, yours has nine most sacred threads, i am thus inferior to you in every-way; therefore, O holy sir, forgive my faults,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

a Brahman should have a plenty of mercy in his heart,

Jai sri Ram,
Seeing you equipped with an axe, arrows and bow, the boy took you for a champion and got excited,

Although he knew you by name, he did not recognize you in person and answered you accoding to his linage,

If you had come as a sage, the child, O holy Sir, would have placed the dust of your feet on his head,

Forgive the error of one who did not know you, a Brahman should have a plenty of mercy in his heart,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

cease from wrath

Jai sri Ram,
While the Sri Parshurama thus raved with his axe raised in high, sri Rama Smiled within himself, bowing his head to the sage,

While the fault's is laxmana, the sage wrath is against me,

Sometimes meekness too begets much evil, a crooked man is reverenced by all,

Rama said_ cease from wrath, O Lord of sages, the axe is in your hand, while head is before you, do that-my lord, which may pacify your anger; known me to be your servant,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

such pungent words

Jai sri Ram,
It is with your connivance that your brother addresses such pungent words to me,

While you make false entreaties with joined palms,

Either give me satisfaction in combat or forswear your name of Rama,

Give Battle to me, O enemy of Shiva, without taking recourse to any wily trick; or else i will despatch you and your brother both,

May lord bless all,

Thanks please 

spoke to Sri Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Though small to look at, the princeling is yet so wicked,

Laxmana smilingly said to himself, shut your eyes and the whole world will vanish out of your sight

Then Parshurama spoke to Sri Rama, his heart boiling with rage,

Having broken Shiva's bow, O wretch, do you now teach me,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

put him out of my sight,

Jai sri Ram,
The breeze of your benevolence is so befitted your frame,

The words you speak appear as though blossoms drop from a tree,

O reverend Sir, when compassion set your whole frame on fire, God helps you when you are angry

Look Here, Janaka, this stupid boy in his perversity intends to migrate to region of death, why not put him out of my sight,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Victory, Victory, Victory, Glory to Sri Rama

Jai Sri Ram
Today it is the victorious day that known in the name of Sri Dushera,

Lord Rama killed Demon king Ravana on this day, with a shower of his graces the lord dispelled the fears of beings on the planet  and gods there,

Lord Rama draw the bow string right up to his Ear and let fly thirty one shafts, which flew like serpents of death one sucked up the depths of the navel, while the rest struck his heads and twenty arms

The whole universe resounded with cries of Victory, Victory, Victory, Glory to Sri Rama,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

My tenderness of feeling has imposed on me

Jai Sri Ram,
Fate has turned against me, that is why i find my nature changed,

Otherwise compassion at any time is unknown to my heart,

My tenderness of feeling has imposed on me a severe strain today,

On hearing this Laxmana bowed his head with smile,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

slain kings without number

Jai sri Ganesha,
At the very news of the cruel doing of my axe the consorts of kings miscarry,

To think that having the same axe still at my service i should see this princeling, my enemy, alive,

My hand moves not, though passion consumes my breast,

While this axe, which has slain kings without number, has gone blunt,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

how can my passion be pacified

Jai Sri Ganesha,
Therefore, your reverence, deal to me as your servant whatever you please,

Whether it be a favour or frown, death or captivity,

Tell me quickly the mean, O chief of sages, how can my passion be pacified,

O Rama, when your younger brother is still looking mischievous at me, so long as i do not cut his throat with my axe, my wrath is ineffectual,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

who have offended you,

Jai Sri Ram,
Joining both his palms together and speaking in most humble, gentle and placed tones Sri Rama Said,

I pray you My Lord, wise as you are by nature, pay no heed to the words of a child,

A wasp and a child have a like deposition, saints never find their faults with them,

Besides , the boy has done you no harm, it is I, my lord, who have offended you,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

Rama cast an angry look

Jai Sri Ram,
In a condescending Manner he said to Rama,

I am sparing the boy because i know he is your younger brother,

So fair without and foul within, he resembles a jar of gold full of poison,

At this Laxmana laughed again but Rama cast an angry look on him, therefore, putting away all petulance of speech he submissively went up the Guru,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

whole body burnt with rage

Jai Sri Ram,
The people of the city trembled like aspen leaves,

They Said to themselves-the younger prince is really very naughty,

As the chief of Bhrgus heard the fearless words of Laxmana,

His whole body burnt with rage and his strength diminished,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Pray be quite,

Jai sri Ram,
Pray sit down, your legs must be aching,

If you are very fond of it, let us devise some mean to mend it by calling in some expert,

Janaka was frightened at Laxmana's words and Said Pray be quite,

It is not good to transgress the limits of propriety,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Passion is the root of sin

Jai sri Ram,
Laxmana smilingly said, listen Holy Sir,

Passion is the root of sin,

Swayed by it men perpetrate unseemly acts and indulge in misanthropic,

I am your servant , O chief of sages, put away your wrath and show mercy upon me, anger will not mend the broken bow,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

image of death

Jai sri Ram,
Seeing him smile , Parshurama flushed all over with sage and Said_

Rama, your brother is too wicked,

Though fair of hue, he is black at heart,

He has deadly poison and not the mother's milk on his lips, perverse by nature, he does not take after you, nor does this vile imp regard me as the very image of death,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

forbearing and illuminated anchorite

Jai Sri Ram,
If children play some planks, their teacher and parents are in raptures at it,

Therefore take pity on him, knowing him to be a child and your servant,

For you are an even minded good tempered, forbearing and illuminated anchorite,

On hearing Sri Rama's words Parshurama cool down a little but uttering something Laxmana smiled again,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

foolish as to affront you

Jai Sri Ram,
O Holy Brahman, Everyone exclaimed, this is wholly undesirable,

 The Lord Rama now becked Lakshmana to stop,

My Lord, have compassion on a child and wreak not your wreath on his guileless youngster,

If he has any idea of your might, how could he be so foolish as to affront you,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

sarcastic remarks

Jai Sri Ram,
Now you get creditor here and i will at once repay him from my own purse,

Hearing these sarcastic remarks Parshurama grasped his axe and the whole assembly cried,

O chief of Brighu, you are still threatening me with your axe, i am sparing you only because i hold you to be a Brahman,

O enemy of princes, you have never met champions staunch in fight-you have grown important in your own little home,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

fully paid the debts to own to your parents

Jai sri Ram,
Said Laxmana, is there anyone of good sage who is not aware of your gentle deposition,

So well known throughout the world, you have fully paid the debts to own to your parents,

The only debt which now remains to be paid by you is one you own to your Guru,

And that was waxing your mind not a little, it looks as if you had incurred the debt on our account, and since a considerable time has now elapsed a heavy interest has accumulated thereon,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Everything looks green to the sage,

Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Vishmamitra said with smiling within self,

Everything looks green to the sage, {a man who loses his eyesight in the month of Saawan when whole landscape is green}

it is, however, the steel sword that he is faced with and not with sugar extracted from sugar cane that one could easily gulp,

It is a pity that he does not understand and still persists in his ignorance,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

repaid the debt

Jai sri Ram,
Sharp edged is my axe, while i am pitiless and furious,

And here stands before me an offender and enemy of my Guru,

Even though he gives a retort, i spare his life solely out of regard for you-O Vishvamitra,

OR else hacking him to pieces with this axe, i would have easily repaid the debt i have own to my Guru,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

let no one blame me

Jai Sri Ram,
After this let no one blame me, this sharp tongued boy deserve his death,

I have spared him long on account of his being a child,

He is now surely going to die,

Vishvamitra said, Pardon his offence, holy men take no notice of the merits and demerits of a child,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Terrible Axe

Jai Sri Ram,
You have assumed the role of a hero and rare resolute and imperturbable,

It is unbecoming of you to your abuses,

You seems to have Death at your back and call and summon him again and again for my sake,

Hearing Laxmana's harsh words Parshurama closed his hand upon his terrible Axe,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

restraint upon your anger

Jai Sri Ram,
I proclaim it at the top of my voice and none should blame me for it,

Forbid him if you would save him, telling him my glory,

With your own lips you have recounted your exploits in diverse ways more than once,

If you are not yet satisfied, tell us something more-do not undergo a severe trial by putting any restraint upon your anger,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

in the jaws of death,

Jai Sri Ram,
Listen O Vishvamitra, this boy is stupid and perverse,

He is in the grip of death himself and will bring destruction on his whole family,

A dark Spot on the Moon like solar race, he is utterly unruly senseless and reckless,

The very next moment he shall find himself in the jaws of death,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

deep voice

Jai Sri Ram,
Every word of yours is as incisive as millions of thunderbolts,

The bow and arrows and the axe are, therefore, an unnecessary burden to you,

Pardon me, O great and illuminated hermit, if i have said anything unseemly at the sight of your weapons,

Hearing this, THE JEWEL OF BRAGHU race furiously rejoined in a deep voice,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

valour is never shown against gods, Brahmanas, Devotees

Jai Sri Ram,
I suppress my anger and put up with whatever you say,

In our family valour is never shown against gods, Brahmanas, Devotees of Sri hari and the Cow,

For by Killing any of these we incur ins while a defeat at their hands will bring disrepute on us

We should throw ourself at your feet even if you strike us,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

no pumpkin in the bud

Jai Sri Ram,
Here there is no pumpkin in the bud,

That would wither away as soon as an index finger is raised, against it,

It was only when i saw you armed with an axe and bow and arrows that i spoke with the same pride,

Now that understand you are a descendant of Bhrgu and perceive a sacred thread on your person,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

unborn offspring in the womb

Jai Sri Ram,
Do not bring woe to your parents, O princely lad,

My most cruel axe has exterminated even unborn offspring in the womb,

Laxman smilingly retorted in a mild tone, The great sage consider himself an extraordinary warrior,

He flaunts his axe before me again and again, as f he would blow away a mountain with a mere puff of breath,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

an irascible one

Jai Sri Ram,
I have been a celibate from my very boyhood but also an irascible one,

I am known throughout the world as a sworn enemy of the Ksatriya,

By the might of my arm i made the earth king-less and bestowed it time after time upon Brahmans,

Look at his axe, which looped off the arms of Sahastrabahu, O youth Prince,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

i slay you not because, as i say, you are a child yet

Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Rama mistook it for a new one and at his very touch it break in two.

Lord Rama, therefore, was not to blame for it either,

Why, then, be angry, reverend Sir, for no cause,

Casting a glance at his axe, Parshurama replied, O foolish child, have you heard of my temper, i slay you not because, as i say, you are a child yet, do not take me for a  mere anchorite, O dullard,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

What gain or loss

Jai Sri Ram,
O Young Prince, Being in the grip of death you have no control over your speech,

Would you compare to a small bow the mighty bow of Shiva, that is known through out the world,

Said Laxmana with a smile, listen O holy sir-to my mind all bows are alike
,
What gain or loss can there be in the breaking of a worn out Bow,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Parshurama burst out in fury,

Jai sri Ram,
Let him start apart,leaving this assembly

Or everyone of this assembly will be slain

Hearing the sage's words Laxmana smiled and said insulting Parshurama, i have broken many a small bow in my childhood but you never grew so angry,

May Lord, why should you be fond of this particular bow, At this Parshurama burst out in fury,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Listen of O Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
What is your command Why not tell me,

At this furious sage was all more incensed and said, A servant is he who does service,

Having played the role of an enemy, one should give battle,

Listen of O Rama-whoever has broken Shiva's bow is my enemy no less than the thousand armed Kartavirya,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

it must be some one of your servants,

Jai Sri Ram,
When Sita heard of Parshurama's temperament,

Even half a moment passed to her like a whole life-time of the universe,

When Sri Rama saws everyone seized with panic and perceived Sita's anxiety

He interposed, there was neither joy nor sorrow in his heart, My Lord, it must be some one of your servants, who has broken the bow of Shiva,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

God has undone an accomplished fact,

Jai sri Ram,
In his excess of fear, the king would make no answer

The wicked kings were glad of heart,

Gods, Sages, Nagas, and the people of the city were filled with anxiety

Their hearts were much agitated, Sita's mother's lamented within herself-saying-God has undone an accomplished fact,

May lord bless all,

Thanks please 

who has broken the bow

Jai Sri Ram,
Janaka Narrated to him the whole story, mentioning what had brought all the kings there,

On hearing the reply Parshurama turned round and looking in the other direction he espied the fragments of the bow lying on the ground,

Flying into a rage he spoke in harsh tone,

Tell me O Janaka, who has broken the bow, show him at once or this day i will overthrow the whole tract of the land over which your dominion extends

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Sri Rama's incomparable beauty

Jai Sri Ram,
His eyes were riveted on Sri Rama's incomparable beauty,

Which would humble the pride of cupid himself,

Then he looked round and though knowing everything, he asked Videha, like an ignorant,

Tell me, what has attracted all this crowd here, and as he spoke thus wrath took possession of his whole being,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

he bestowed his blessings on her

Jai sri Ram,
Then came Janaka and bowed his head,

Sending for Sita he made her pay homage to the sage,

Her companions rejoiced when he bestowed his blessings on her, And cleverly took her where other ladies were,

Next came Vishvamitra, who met him and placed two brothers at his lotus feet, saying that they were king Dasratha's sons, Sri Rama and laxmana by name, seeing the well matched pair, he bless them,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Each fell prostrate

Jai Sri Ram,
It looked as if the heroic sentiments had taken the form of a hermit and arrived where the kings had assembled,

Beholding the frightful figure of Parshurama, the kings all rose in consternation and mentioning his own as well as his father's Name,

Each fell prostrate on the ground before him,

even he on whom Parshurama cast a friendly look in a natural way through his sands of his life had run out,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

His character

Jai Sri Ram,
With the anchorite covering about his loins and a pair pf quivers fastened by his side,

He held a bow and arrows in his hands and an axe upon his fair shoulder,

Through saintly in attire, he had cruel record of deeds,

His character, therefore, defied description,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

reddened with anger

Jai sri Ram,
Having matted locks on the head, his handsome moon-like face was a bit reddened with anger,

With knitted brows and eyes inflamed with passion,

His natural look gave one of the impression that he was enraged

He had well build shoulder like those of a bull and a broad chest and long arms,he was adorned with a beautiful sacred thread, rosary and deerskin,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sage Parsurama

Jai Sri Ram,
That very moment arrived the Sage Parsurama,

A very sun to the lotus like race of Bhrgu, led by the news of breaking of the bows,

At his very sight the kings all cowered downed even as a quail would shrink beneath the swoop of a hawk,

A coat of ashes looked most charming on his body, his broad forehead was adorned with a tripundra,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

A lion's whelp

Jai Sri Ram,
With fiery eye and knitted brows he cast an angry look at the kings,

As though, at the sight of a heard of wild elephants in rut,

A lion's whelp were eager to pronounce them,

Seeing the uproar the women of the city were distressed and joined in cursing the princes,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

he could not speak

Jai Sri Ram,
When Sri Sita heard the tumult, she got afraid  and her companions took her to the queen,

While Rama Advanced to his Guru, easy in mind and inwardly praising her affection,

The queen as well as Sita were filled with anxiety and wondered what providence had in store for them,

Laxmana looked hither and thither; for fear of Rama, however, he could not speak

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

feast your eyes upon Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Giving up jealousy, arrogance and anger, therefore, feast your eyes upon Rama,

Knowing Laxmana's wrath to be ablazing fire, do not allow yourselves to be consumed by it like  a moth,

As the crow should seek an offering set for Garuda, as a rabbit should covet the shear of lion,

As a man who is angry without any cause should expect happiness, covetous man should long for good fame and a gallant should aspire to be free from scandal,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

shame itself feel shy

Jai Sri Ram,
When good kings heard these words they said,

They said shame itself feel shy in approaching this assembly of princes

Your might glory velour of which you are boasting,

Or have you since acquired it anew from somewhere else, it is because of your mentality that god has blacked your faces,

May Lord bless all

Thanks Please 

Carry off Sita by force

Jai Sri Ram,
Rising from their seats one after another and dooming their armour the wrenches began to brag about

Carry off Sita by force and capture the two princes hold them in bondage

No purpose will be served by merely breaking the bow

For who shall to help them, rout him in battle along-with the two brothers

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please
