jamadgni

Updated: May 19, 2025

Thy tender years and newly wedded bride teach me a weakness I am not wont to feel. Throughout the world the story runs, I, Rama, and the son of Jamadgni, struck off a mother's head with remorseless arm. This vengeful axe has one and twenty times destroyed the Kshatriya race, not sparing in its wrath the unborn babe hewn piecemeal in the parent womb.
