Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O son of the Kuru dynasty! When Paraśurāma was given this order by his father, he immediately agreed, saying, "Let it be so." After traveling to holy places for a year, he returned to his father's residence. In the Sixteenth Chapter, Paraśurāma kills the sons of Kārtavīryārjuna, because they killed his father, and makes the world devoid of kṣatriyas. Also the story of Viśvāmitra is told.
