Significado

The word prabhāva-jñaḥ is significant. Paraśurāma knew the prowess of his father, and therefore he agreed to carry out his father’s order. He thought that if he refused to carry out the order he would be cursed, but if he carried it out his father would be pleased, and when his father was pleased, Paraśurāma would ask the benediction of having his mother and brothers brought back to life. Paraśurāma was confident in this regard, and therefore he agreed to kill his mother and brothers.

La palabra prabhāva-jñaḥ es significativa. Paraśurāma conocía el poder de su padre, de modo que aceptó cumplir su orden. Pensó que, si se negaba a cumplirla, sería maldecido, pero que, si la cumplía, su padre se sentiría complacido. Entonces él le pediría la bendición de devolver a la vida a su madre y a sus hermanos. Con esta confianza, Paraśurāma aceptó matar a su madre y a sus hermanos.
