The conse-
given in all
As the basis of the feud between Parasur膩ma and K膩rta-
v墨rya, who are both represented at a higher level, the Brahmanda
narrates the instigations of Candragupta, the vicious
K膩rtav墨rya, against Jamadagni and Kamadhenu.
quent fight between Para艣ur膩ma and K膩rtav墨rya is
details (Chaps. 38.41). The joint references to the stories of
Sagara and Para艣ur膩ma are seen even from the colophon of the
44th chapter, (iti Sagarop膩khy膩ne Bh膩rgavacarite), which relates
the performance of penance by Parasurama for twelve years at
the Mahendra mountain in the company of Ak峁泃avra峁嘺. The
same colophon continues till the 58th chapter, wherein the last
few verses ( 34, 35, 37 ) read :

] The above correlation of Para艣ur膩ma with Sagara and his
descendants S膩garas, that is, the oceans, gains some importance
as the Brahma峁囜笉a Purana is the starting point of later legends
regarding Para艣ur膩ma and his creation of Sapta-ko峁卥a峁嘺s, due
