Kartavirya Arjuna displeases the gods with his evil deeds. Vishnu is reborn as Rama to punish him. He is granted the mighty axe, Parashu, by Shiva and is called Parashurama from then on. When Kartavirya Arjuna steals Jamadagni's sacred cow, Parashurama kills Kartavirya Arjuna. The sons of Kartavirya Arjuna kill Jamadagni in response. Parashurama then sets out on a deadly mission of killing every Kshatriya on earth. After twenty one generations of killing, the spirit of Richika appeals to Parashurama to stop. Parashurama gives all his weapons to Drona and retires to the mountains.
