Rama Parashurama
Parashurama, upon learning of Sri Rama's breaking the bow, became angry. Parashurama had learned archery from Lord Shiva. Added to his anger was the fact that the feat had been accomplished by a Kshatriya prince.

As Sri Rama was heading toward Ayodhya with his father Dasharatha wife Sita and others, Parashurama confronted them and a battle ensued between him and Sri Rama. The former wielded his axe while Sri Rama replied with his famous ‘Kodanda' bow As they stood to confront each other their eyes met, and both instantly realized that they were the incarnations of the same Supreme Power. The Vishnu-effulgence of Parashurama merged itself with Sri Rama's personality.

Parashurama realized that his incarnation had come to an end and returned to his hermitage in the Mahendra Mountain.
