#Parshuram ( Rama with an axe ) is sixth incarnation of Vishu in त्रेता युग. Parashurama carried traits of a Kshatriya and is often regarded as a Brahman Warrior, He carried a number of traits, which included aggression, warfare & valor serenity & prudence (1/6)

Vishnudharmottara Purana and Rupamandana describes him as a man with matted locks, with two hands, one carrying an axe. However, the Agni Purana portrays his iconography with four hands, carrying his axe, bow, arrow and sword. (2/6)

The Kshatriya class, with weapons and power, had begun to abuse their power, take what belonged to others by force and tyrannize people. Parashurama corrects the cosmic equilibrium by destroying these Kshatriya warriors (3/6)

He is also referred to as Rama Jamadagnya, Rama Bhargava, Ram Bhadra & Veerarama in some Hindu texts.
In Kannada folklore, especially in devotional songs sung by the Devdasis he is often referred to as son of Yellamma. (4/6)

Parasurama legends are notable for their discussion of हिंसा (violence), the cycles of retaliations, the impulse of क्रोध (anger), the inappropriateness of krodha, and repentance. (5/6)
