Vishnu Bhagawan took the avatar as Parashurama in order to destroy the adharmic kshatriya princes of the Satya Yuga.Parshuram is the sixth Avatar of Lord Vishnu.He was born to Saptarishi Jamadagni and Goddess Renuka in the Dwapara Yuga. His name is the sum total of Parashu+ Rama, meaning Rama with an axe (parashu).He was born towards the end of Tretayuga, lived to see the complete Dwaparayuga, and is also said to be witnessing the initial phase of Kaliyuga, thereby becoming one of the seven immortals or Chiranjivis of Hinduism. Indeed, he received an axe after undertaking terrible penance to please Lord Shiva, who in turn taught him the martial arts. Lord Parashurama is most known for ridding the world of kshatriyas 21 times over after the mighty king Kartavirya Arjuna killed his father. He also played an important role in the Mahabharata and Ramayana, serving as mentor to Bhishma, Drona and Karna.
Lord Parasurama still lives as an intelligent brahmana in the mountainous country known as Mahendra. Completely satisfied, having given up all the weapons of a kshatriya, he is always worshiped, adored and offered prayers for his exalted character and activities by such celestial beings as the Siddhas, Caranas and Gandharvas.
