News India Live, Digital Desk: The rivers of India are not just water sources, but also symbols of age-old stories and deep beliefs. One of these is Brahmaputra, which is known as the only male river in our country (Brahmaputra means son of Brahma). Rising from the glaciers of Tibet, this mighty river passes through Arunachal, Assam and Bangladesh.
But the name of Brahmaputra is associated with a pond, whose story takes us directly to Tretayuga. Parshuram Kund. The mythological story of this pond is a tale of sin and salvation that has been told for thousands of years.
Who was Parshuram and why did this terrible act happen?
Parashurama is considered to be the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who was famous for his bravery and anger. He was the son of sage Jamadagni and mother Renuka. According to the story, once sage Jamadagni became suspicious of his wife Mata Renuka for some reason. In anger the sage ordered his sons to immediately cut off their mother’s head.
Out of fear all the brothers of Parashurama retreated. But Parashuram considered his father’s orders above all else. Without thinking, he beheaded Mother Renuka with an axe.
when the ax stuck to the hand
It is believed that as soon as this terrible task was completed, the ax stuck to Parashurama’s hand and became drenched in blood. He obeyed his father’s orders, but it was a grave sin of matricide.
When Jamadagni’s anger subsided, he asked Parashurama to ask for a boon to obey him. Parashuram asked for the first boon that Mother Renuka should be given life again. And second, his hand should be free from that axe. The sage brought the mother back to life, but did not free the ax from her hand, because the sin of matricide could not be washed away by mere command.
Arunachal reached to wash away sins
Father Jamadagni advised Parashurama to undertake a pilgrimage to cleanse his hands of sin. Parashurama kept traveling across the world, but the ax never separated from his hand.
At last while travelling, he reached an inaccessible place in the densely forested Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh. At this place, as soon as Parashurama washed his hands in water, a miracle happened—the ax immediately slipped from his hands and fell into the pool.
It is believed that this water is connected to the flow area of the Brahmaputra river, and since Parshuram was liberated from his great sin by taking a dip in the water of this pond, hence this pond Parshuram Kund Became famous by the name of.
