Commentary

|
The Paraçuräma incarnation is being glorified. “O Hari, assuming the form of Bhågupati, you destroyed the warrior caste who had become inimical to the brähmaëas; not only once, but twenty-one times. You have made the lake of their blood a place of pilgrimage at Kurukñetra. By bathing there, all the living entities of the universe are delivered from the reactions of their sins and they attain liberation from the suffering of material existence. When spiritual knowledge awakens, suffering is relieved and one is pacified.” This verse features sväbhävikokti alaìkära and adbhuta-rasa. The Paraçuräma avatära is considered to be the presiding deity of raudra-rasa (anger). The hero of the first six verses of this song is dhéroddhata näyaka. |
