He asked the sons to kill her. None of his six sons except Parasuram could oblige. Parasuram chopped off the head of his mother indeference to the wishes of his father, but as a result of crime handle with his axe got struck to his hand. Jamadagni was very pleased with him for carrying out his order and asked Parasuram to have for boon. Parasuram wanted her mother to become alive again. The boon was granted by his father who also suggested him to go to take bath in this Brahma Kund to wash his sin. Parashuram came here and took a holy bath.
