Thereafter, by the benediction of Jamadagni, Lord Paraśurāma’s mother and brothers immediately came alive and were very happy, as if awakened from sound sleep. Lord Paraśurāma had killed his relatives in accordance with his father’s order because he was fully aware of his father’s power, austerity and learning.

Translation
Paraśurāma's mother and brothers got up and were very happy, as if awakened from sound sleep. Paraśurāma had killed his relatives because he was fully aware of his father's power and austerity.
Personal Guidance
Mother and brothers awaken 'as from sound sleep.' Even severe consequences can be reversed by the Lord's mercy when the doer carried out the order without ego.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I assuming my past actions are permanent when surrender might wake the situation 'as from sleep'?
- What would I have to release to truly believe that?
