The reason for Parashuram's anger on kings

                                    The reason for Parashuram's anger on kings

Parashuram, who is the incarnation of God Vishnu travelled world 21 times and each time he had killed the kings. Though, his aim was not to conquer the land he killed the kings.
The reason for his anger was his mother's grief  His mother , Renuka by seeing her husband's dead body had sobbed by hitting her chest 21 times. .By seeing her sorrow, Parashuram vowed that he will kill all the kings. But why Parashuram was against kings?
Parashuram's father saint Jamadagni had the sacred cow, Kamadhenu with him. It is believed that Kamadhenu had the special power of granting one's wish. But against Jamadagni's wish , King Kartaveeryarjuna had taken the cow with him.
Kartaveeryaarjuna was a king who was granted the boon that only the God can defeat and kill him. Because of this, he had become invincible. Once he and his servants went for hunting. They lost the way and while wandering in forest, they found the hut of Saint Jamadagni.
All of them came near saint and begged him to give them food. Jamadagni arranged food for all of them in fraction of a second. The King was surprised by this. He asked for the reason and Jamadagni showed him Kamadhenu. Kartaveeryaarjun thought the cow should be in his possession
He asked for cow near the saint. But Jamadagni didnt agree. King got angry and tried to take the cow forcibly with him. When Jamadagni .forbidden him, he beheaded the saint. His wife Renuka saw the developments and she was sobbing when her children returned.
Parashuram was her youngest child , he vowed to kill the king in return. As he is the incarnation of God Vishnu himself, he could easily defeat King Kartaveeryaarjuna . He killed him. But his anger didnt get quenched. He toured world and killed the kings with his weapon axe.
