=== Death of Renuka ===
According to the [[Brahmanda Purana]], Renuka once went to the banks of the river Narmada to fetch some water. There, she observed the king of the Salva kingdom playing with his queen in the water. She stood there, mesmerised by the beauty of the sight. By the time she reached the hermitage of her husband with the water, she was quite late. The weary Jamadagni was furious when he heard the reason for her delay, and called forth each of his sons, one after the other, to kill her. Each of them refused to kill their own mother. Parashurama, however, came forth, and beheaded his mother with a single arrow. The rishi exiled his four older sons to the forests due to their disobedience. Pleased by Parashurama's devotion to him, he granted his son any boon of his choice. Parashurama wished for his mother to be restored to life, and this was granted.<ref name="www.wisdomlib.org">{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=2019-01-28 |title=Story of Jamadagni |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/compilation/puranic-encyclopaedia/d/doc241636.html |access-date=2022-10-09 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}</ref>
