Translation
As King Kārtavīryārjuna entered his capital, he saw Paraśurāma, the best of the Bhṛgu dynasty, chasing him, while holding a chopper, shield, bow and arrows, and covered with a black deerskin. He had matted locks of hair which shone like the sun.
While entering the city Kārtavīryārjuna saw him.
Personal Guidance
Kārtavīryārjuna sees the deerskin-clad sage with hair like sunshine following him into his own capital. Reckoning comes home — the very place we thought was our fortress becomes the stage of our trial.
Reflection Questions
- What 'capital' of mine am I assuming is safe from the consequences of my actions?
- Where might the Lord's representative already be following me home?
