upāviśat
he entered.
Once while Kārtavīryārjuna was wandering unengaged in a solitary forest and hunting, he approached the residence of Jamadagni.
Purport
Kārtavīryārjuna had no business going to the residence of Jamadagni, but because he was puffed-up by his extraordinary power, he went there and offended Paraśurāma. This was the prelude to his being killed by Paraśurāma for his offensive act.

Translation
Once while Kārtavīryārjuna was wandering in a solitary forest and hunting, he approached the residence of Jamadagni.
Now his offense is explained in order to show why Paraśurāma killed him.
Personal Guidance
Wandering, hunting, Kārtavīryārjuna stumbles onto Jamadagni's hermitage. Unstructured leisure for the overpowered often leads to exactly the place where they will offend the wrong sage.
Reflection Questions
- Where in my unstructured time am I drifting toward situations my disciplined self would have avoided?
- What hermitage in my life am I about to disturb out of mere idleness?
