Fitting the arrow to the bow of Lord Vishnu and declaring it as unfailing, Sri Rama asks Parashurama to point out at whom it may be discharged, and at the instance of the latter puts and end to his title to the (ethereal) worlds earned by him through his austerities. Recognising Sri Rama to be no other than Lord Vishnu and taking leave of him, Parashurama withdraws to Mount Mahendra in order to resume his austerities.
