Rama approached the mightily bow. He bowed before King Janaka. Then with has left hand, he picked up the huge and heavy bow as if it was a mere feather.
Then with his right hand, he strung the bow effortlessly. He pulled the string so hard that the sturdy bow of Lord Shiva broke into two and the loud sound reverberated through the large royal hall.
A sound thunder echoed in the sky and the earth shook violently. Everyone in the hall was very happy when Rama won the feat. Sita blushed on seeing Rama. Suddenly, there was a commotion the door of the royal hall. Everyone wondered what the cause of the so much noise.
A man dressed in a sage’s robe and carrying bow on his shoulder, and holding an axe in his hand, entered the royal hall. He was none other than the great sage, Parashurama.

Parshurama was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva. He had always thought that no one could break lord Shiva’s bow. The thunder sound of the broken bow had reached to him on the Mahendra mountains. Sage Parashurama was a Brahmin and hated the kshatriyas, as his father had been killed by a kshatriyas for ages. His arrival at the venue got King Janaka and others worried.
