Names of 108 Parashurama Kshetra

Parashurama is an incarnation of Vishnu. He was born on the Earth, to sage Jamadagni and his wife, Renuka. Parshurama took the severe penance to seek the blessings of Shiva. Pleased with a devotion, Shiva gave axe(Parsha) to Parshurama.

Once there was a king called Kartaviryarjuna. He wanted to take away powerfully the Kamadhenu cow that was in the protection of sage Jamadagni. As the sage did not permit Parshurama’s brutal act, Kartaviryarjuna killed Jamadagni. When Parashurama came to know the fact, he realized that the autocrats were misusing their power. So he fought with Kartaviryarjuna and killed him. He further killed the misbehaving rulers of 21 generations.

Subsequently, Parshurama worshipped Lord Shiva. He asked for the wrath on what he wanted to focus on. Afterwards, with the divine order, he threw his axe into the sea to retrieve the land from the ocean as far as the axe went. Thus, the retrieved land is called ‘Parashurama Kshetra’ or Parshurama Land. This land extends from Gokarna in the north to Suchindram in the south of Kerala.
