1.76.1
श्रुत्वा तु जामदग्न्यस्य वाक्यं दाशरथिस्तदा।
गौरवाद्यन्त्रितकथः पितू राममथाब्रवीत् ॥ १.७६.१ ॥
Hearing the words of Jāmadagnya, the son of Daśaratha then, restraining his speech out of respect for his father, spoke to Rāma (Paraśurāma).
1.76.2
कृतवानसि यत् कर्म श्रुतवानस्मि भार्गव।
अनुरुध्यामहे ब्रह्मन् पितुरानृण्यमास्थितः ॥ १.७६.२ ॥
You have done that deed, O Bhārgava; I have heard of it. O brahmin, standing on the ground of freeing my father from his debt, I comply.
1.76.3
वीर्यहीनमिवाशक्तं क्षत्रधर्मेण भार्गव।
अवजानासि मे तेजः पश्य मेऽद्य पराक्रमम् ॥ १.७६.३ ॥
O Bhārgava, you despise me as though I were devoid of valour and powerless, by the duty of the warrior class. Behold my prowess today.

इत्युक्त्वा राघवः क्रुद्धो भार्गवस्य वरायुधम्।
शरं च प्रतिजग्राह हस्ताल्लघुपराक्रमः ॥ १.७६.४ ॥

आरोप्य स धनू रामः शरं सज्यं चकार ह।
जामदग्न्यं ततो रामं रामः क्रुद्धोऽब्रवीदिदम् ॥ १.७६.५ ॥
Then Rāma raised the bow and fitted the arrow to the string. Then Rāma, angered, spoke these words to Rāma, son of Jamadagni.
1.76.6
ब्राह्मणोऽसीति पूज्यो मे विश्वामित्रकृतेन च।
तस्माच्छक्तो न ते राम मोक्तुं प्राणहरं शरम् ॥ १.७६.६ ॥
You are a brahmin, and worthy of honour to me on account of Viśvāmitra's deed. Therefore, O Rāma, I am not able to release upon you the life-taking arrow.
1.76.7
इमां वा त्वद्गतिं राम तपोबलसमर्जितान्।
लोकानप्रतिमान् वापि हनिष्यामीति मे मतिः ॥ १.७६.७ ॥
O Rāma, I will destroy either this path of yours, or the incomparable worlds won by the power of my austerity—such is my resolve.
1.76.8
न ह्ययं वैष्णवो दिव्यः शरः परपुरंजयः।
मोघः पतति वीर्येण बलदर्पविनाशनः ॥ १.७६.८ ॥
This divine arrow of Viṣṇu, conqueror of enemy cities and destroyer of the pride of strength, does not fall in vain by its own power.

जडीकृते तदा लोके रामे वरधनुर्धरे।
निर्वीर्यो जामदग्न्योऽसौ रामो राममुदैक्षत ॥ १.७६.११ ॥
Then, when the world had been stunned, Jāmadagnya, now powerless, looked upon Rāma, the Rāma who bore the excellent bow.

तेजोभिर्गतवीर्यत्वाज्जामदग्न्यो जडीकृतः।
रामं कमलपत्राक्षं मन्दं मन्दमुवाच ह ॥ १.७६.१२ ॥
Jāmadagnya, stunned by the radiance and robbed of his strength, spoke softly, softly to Rāma, the lotus-petal-eyed one.

विषये मे न वस्तव्यमिति मां काश्यपोऽब्रवीत् ॥ १.७६.१३ ॥

जहि ताञ्छरमुख्येन मा भूत् कालस्य पर्ययः ॥ १.७६.१६ ॥
