Parashuram Avatar - Sixth Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar
In the Parashuram Avatar, born to a pious sage Jamadagni and Renuka, Vishnu incarnated himself as Brahmin priest and is the only incarnation that is immortal. He is said to be one of the seven Chiranjeevis (Immortals) and will be alive till the end of Kaliyuga on Earth.
The world was overburdened with Kings and soldiers, also known as the Kshtriyas under the Indian Varna system. This created a lot of fight and disturbances in the world. The duty of the rulers of society is to protect religious principles and the teachers of religion, the brahmanas. When they fail to do this they become a burden on the earth. Parashuram chose the life of a warrior, to fight and destroy the abuse of the Kshatriyas who at the time were misusing their powers to hurt the innocent. Although he was born in a Brahmana family, he called himself a Kshatriya-Brahaman. He thought himself weaponry to fight against the Kshatriya kings and eradicated the presence of many Kshatriyas kingdoms on Earth with nothing more than an axe as a weapon, which was presented to him by Shiva.
It is said that Parashuram killed the Kshatriya race misusing their powers over twenty-one battles. The wealth and land that he owned upon winning the battles was donated to the Brahmanas and poor people. Then he renounced fighting and went to the Himalayas to perform penances.
Parashuram despite being an incarnation Vishnu, is often known as the one who killed his mother. While this is considered to be a huge sin as per the Hindu, the full story behind this incident is often not known.
