Story of Parashuram

                                        Story of Parashuram

Parashuram is the youngest son of saint Jamadagni and Renuka. Renuka used to bring water in a vessel made up of sand from the nearby river. But once her mind got deviated and she could not bring water on a sand vessel on time.
Jamadagni was a quick temper man. Now he was very angry on his wife. He had come to know what happened by his power. He didnt listen to any of the explanation given by his wife. He ordered his 4 sons  to kill their mother.
3 of them didnt agree for that. Parashuram was the youngest of them and he obeyed his father and cut his mother's head. With that, Jamadagni was pleased. He asked his son, Parashuram to ask for 3 wishes and he will grant them.
Parashuram in his first wish, begged that his mother must be alive. In the second wish, he begged that his brothers, who didnt listen to their father and had been burnt alive, must be alive. In the third and final wish, he begged that his father's quick temper must get cured.
Thus, Parashuram cured his father's bad habbit and also got his mother back.
