[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=4) So what do we see? Lakshmana gets up. Lakshmana is angry, and he starts saying all sorts of things to Parashurama, asking how he could say that, and so on.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=13) Then Shri Rama calms him down, saying, "No, no, don't speak like that." Right?

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=17) Now, this episode isn't like that in the Valmiki Ramayana, because Shri Rama's whole personality in the Valmiki Ramayana is a little different from Tulsidas's Rama.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=26) Here, Shri Rama himself answers Parashurama.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=30) Parashurama, I know you. I recognized you.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=33) I've also heard about all your feats of valor.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=36) But don't underestimate me either. I can show you what my prowess is.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=41) Tell me, what should I do? And at that point, Parashurama says "Oh, so that's what you're saying."

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=44) Pick up this Vishnu bow, then string the Vishnu bow.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=48) All right, this episode too didn't happen during the wedding swayamvar.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=53) It happened after the wedding when everyone was returning.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZmxogVNT7uT/en/rama-and-parashurama-in-valmiki-ramayana-the-vishnu-bow?t=56) As they were heading back toward Ayodhya, this happened along the way.
