Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 21


Sanskrit:

नि:क्षत्रियामकृत गां च त्रि:सप्तकृत्वोरामस्तु हैहयकुलाप्ययभार्गवाग्नि: ।सोऽब्धिं बबन्ध दशवक्त्रमहन् सलङ्कंसीतापतिर्जयति लोकमलघ्नकीर्ति: ॥ २१ ॥

ITRANS:

niḥkṣatriyām akṛta gāṁ ca triḥ-sapta-kṛtvorāmas tu haihaya-kulāpyaya-bhārgavāgniḥso ’bdhiṁ babandha daśa-vaktram ahan sa-laṅkaṁsītā-patir jayati loka-mala-ghna-kīṛtiḥ

Translation:

Lord Paraśurāma appeared in the family of Bhṛgu as a fire that burned to ashes the dynasty of Haihaya. Thus Lord Paraśurāma rid the earth of all kṣatriyas twenty-one times. The same Lord appeared as Rāmacandra, the husband of Sītādevī, and thus He killed the ten-headed Rāvaṇa, along with all the soldiers of Laṅkā. May that Śrī Rāma, whose glories destroy the contamination of the world, be always victorious.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī, Lord Rāmacandra was more or less a contemporary incarnation for the nine Yogendras. Thus they have offered particular respect to Lord Rāmacandra, as indicated by the word jayati.
