ਸਬ ਦੇਵਨ ਮਿਲਿ ਕਰਿਯੋ ਬਿਚਾਰਾ ॥
sab devan mil kariyo bichaaraa |

ਛੀਰਸਮੁਦ੍ਰ ਕਹੁ ਚਲੇ ਸੁਧਾਰਾ ॥
chheerasamudr kahu chale sudhaaraa |

All the gods together reflected on this issued and went towards the milk-ocean.

ਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਕੀ ਕਰੀ ਬਡਾਈ ॥
kaal purakh kee karee baddaaee |

ਇਮ ਆਗਿਆ ਤਹ ਤੈ ਤਿਨਿ ਆਈ ॥੩॥

There they eulogized KAL, the destroyer Lord and received the following message.3.

ਦਿਜ ਜਮਦਗਨਿ ਜਗਤ ਮੋ ਸੋਹਤ ॥
dij jamadagan jagat mo sohat |

ਨਿਤ ਉਠਿ ਕਰਤ ਅਘਨ ਓਘਨ ਹਤ ॥
nit utth karat aghan oghan hat |

The Destroyer Lord said, “ A sage named Yamadagni abides on the earth, who always gets up to destroy the sins by his virtuous deeds.

ਤਹ ਤੁਮ ਧਰੋ ਬਿਸਨ ਅਵਤਾਰਾ ॥

Hail, hail to the incarnation-like sage Yamadagni, through whose wife Renuka was born the wearer of armour and carrier of axe (that is Parashurama)

ਧਰਿਯੋ ਛਤ੍ਰੀਯਾ ਪਾਤ ਕੋ ਕਾਲ ਰੂਪੰ ॥

He manifested himself as death for the Kshatriyas and destroyed the king named Sahasrabadhu.5.

ਕਹਾ ਗੰਮ ਏਤੀ ਕਥਾ ਸਰਬ ਭਾਖਉ ॥
kahaa gam etee kathaa sarab bhaakhau |

ਕਥਾ ਬ੍ਰਿਧ ਤੇ ਥੋਰੀਐ ਬਾਤ ਰਾਖਉ ॥
kathaa bridh te thoreeai baat raakhau |

I have not the requisite wisdom to describe the whole story, therefore fearing lest it may not become voluminous, I say it very briefly:

ਭਰੇ ਗਰਬ ਛਤ੍ਰੀ ਨਰੇਸੰ ਅਪਾਰੰ ॥
bhare garab chhatree naresan apaaran |

ਤਿਨੈ ਨਾਸ ਕੋ ਪਾਣਿ ਧਾਰਿਯੋ ਕੁਠਾਰੰ ॥੬॥

The Kshatriya king had been intoxicated with pride and in order to destroy them, Parashurama held up the axe in his hand.6.

ਹੁਤੀ ਨੰਦਨੀ ਸਿੰਧ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਸੁਪੁਤ੍ਰੀ ॥
hutee nandanee sindh jaa kee suputree |

ਤਿਸੈ ਮਾਗ ਹਾਰਿਯੋ ਸਹੰਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਛਤ੍ਰੀ ॥
tisai maag haariyo sahansaasatr chhatree |

Nandini, the wish-fulfilling cow like the daughter of Yamadagni and the Kshatriya Sahasrabahu had got tired in begging it from the sage.

ਲੀਯੋ ਛੀਨ ਗਾਯੰ ਹਤਿਯੋ ਰਾਮ ਤਾਤੰ ॥
leeyo chheen gaayan hatiyo raam taatan |

ਤਿਸੀ ਬੈਰ ਕੀਨੇ ਸਬੈ ਭੂਪ ਪਾਤੰ ॥੭॥
tisee bair keene sabai bhoop paatan |7|

Ultimately, he snatched away the cow and killed Yamadagni and in order to wreak his vengeance, Parashurama destroyed all the Kshatriya kings.7.

ਗਈ ਬਾਲ ਤਾ ਤੇ ਲੀਯੋ ਸੋਧ ਤਾ ਕੋ ॥
gee baal taa te leeyo sodh taa ko |

ਹਨਿਯੋ ਤਾਤ ਮੇਰੋ ਕਹੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਾ ਕੋ ॥
haniyo taat mero kaho naam vaa ko |

Form the very childhood Parashurama had been quite inquisitive in his mind about the identity of the killer of his father

ਸਹੰਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਭੂਪੰ ਸੁਣਿਯੋ ਸ੍ਰਉਣ ਨਾਮੰ ॥
sahansaasatr bhoopan suniyo sraun naaman |

ਗਹੇ ਸਸਤ੍ਰ ਅਸਤ੍ਰੰ ਚਲਿਯੋ ਤਉਨ ਠਾਮੰ ॥੮॥
gahe sasatr asatran chaliyo taun tthaaman |8|

And when he came to know that it was the king Sahasrabahu, he moved towards his place with his arms and weapons.8.

ਕਹੋ ਰਾਜ ਮੇਰੋ ਹਨਿਯੋ ਤਾਤ ਕੈਸੇ ॥
kaho raaj mero haniyo taat kaise |

Parashurama said to the king, “O king how hast thou killed my father?

ਅਬੈ ਜੁਧ ਜੀਤੋ ਹਨੋ ਤੋਹਿ ਤੈਸੇ ॥
abai judh jeeto hano tohi taise |

Now I want to wage war with you in order to kill you”

ਕਹਾ ਮੂੜ ਬੈਠੋ ਸੁ ਅਸਤ੍ਰੰ ਸੰਭਾਰੋ ॥
kahaa moorr baittho su asatran sanbhaaro |

ਚਲੋ ਭਾਜ ਨਾ ਤੋ ਸਬੈ ਸਸਤ੍ਰ ਡਾਰੋ ॥੯॥
chalo bhaaj naa to sabai sasatr ddaaro |9|

He also said, “O fool, hold your weapons, otherwise forsaking them, run away from this place.”9.

ਸੁਣੇ ਬੋਲ ਬੰਕੇ ਭਰਿਯੋ ਭੂਪ ਕੋਪੰ ॥
sune bol banke bhariyo bhoop kopan |

ਉਠਿਯੋ ਰਾਜ ਸਰਦੂਲ ਲੈ ਪਾਣਿ ਧੋਪੰ ॥
autthiyo raaj saradool lai paan dhopan |

Hearing these ironical words, the king was filled with fury and holding his weapons in his hands, got up like a lion.

ਹਠਿਯੋ ਖੇਤਿ ਖੂਨੀ ਦਿਜੰ ਖੇਤ੍ਰ ਹਾਯੋ ॥
hatthiyo khet khoonee dijan khetr haayo |

ਚਹੇ ਆਜ ਹੀ ਜੁਧ ਮੋ ਸੋ ਮਚਾਯੋ ॥੧੦॥
chahe aaj hee judh mo so machaayo |10|

He came to the arena of battle with determination, knowing that the Brahmin Parashurama was desirous of fighting with him on the same day.10.
