Lord Paraśurāma was also infected by sin because of killing Kārtavīryārjuna, although this was not very offensive. Therefore, whether one be Kārtavīryārjuna, Lord Paraśurāma, Jamadagni or whoever one may be, one must act very cautiously and sagaciously; otherwise one must suffer the results of sinful activities.

Lord Paraśurāma killed all the <i>kṣatriyas</i> twenty-one times consecutively because they were disobedient to the brahminical culture. That the <i>kṣatriyas</i> had killed his father was only a plea; the real fact is that because the <i>kṣatriyas,</i> the ruling class, had become polluted, their position was inauspicious. Brahminical culture is enjoined in the <i>śāstra,</i> especially in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ</i>). According to the laws of nature, whether at the time of Paraśurāma or at the present, if the government becomes irresponsible and sinful, not caring for brahminical culture, there will certainly be an incarnation of God like Paraśurāma to create a devastation by fire, famine, pestilence or some other calamity. Whenever the government disrespects the supremacy of the Personality of Godhead and fails to protect the institution of <i>varṇāśrama-dharma,</i> it will certainly have to face such catastrophes as formerly brought about by Lord Paraśurāma."

"As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>3.9</i>), <i>yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ:</i> \"Work done as a sacrifice for Viṣṇu has to be performed, otherwise work binds one to this material world.\" <i>Karma-bandhanaḥ</i> refers to the repeated acceptance of one material body after another. The whole problem of life is this repetition of birth and death. Therefore one is advised to work to perform <i>yajña</i> meant for satisfying Lord Viṣṇu. Although Lord Paraśurāma was an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he had to account for sinful activities. Anyone in this material world, however careful he may be, must commit some sinful activities, even though he does not want to. For example, one may trample many small ants and other insects while walking on the street and kill many living beings unknowingly. Therefore the Vedic principle of <i>pañca-yajña,</i> five kinds of recommended sacrifice, is compulsory. In this age of Kali, however, there is a great concession given to people in general. <i>Yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ:</i> we may worship Lord Caitanya, the hidden incarnation of Kṛṣṇa. <i>Kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇam:</i> although He is Kṛṣṇa Himself, He always chants Hare Kṛṣṇa and preaches Kṛṣṇa consciousness. One is recommended to worship this incarnation by chanting, the <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña.</i> The performance of <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña</i> is a special concession for human society to save people from being affected by known or unknown sinful activities. We are surrounded by unlimited sins, and therefore it is compulsory that one take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra.</i>"

"Now, having narrated the history of Lord Paraśurāma, Śukadeva Gosvāmī begins the history of Viśvāmitra.

Similarly, we can see that although Viśvāmitra was born in a <i>kṣatriya</i> family, by austerities and penances he achieved the position of a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> These histories confirm the statements in <i>śāstra</i> that a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> may become a <i>kṣatriya,</i> a <i>kṣatriya</i> may become a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> or <i>vaiśya,</i> and a <i>vaiśya</i> may become a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> by achieving the required qualities. One's status does not depend upon birth. As confirmed in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (7.11.35) by Nārada:",
"<i>yasya yal lakṣaṇaṁ proktaṁ<br/> puṁso varṇābhivyañjakam<br/> yad anyatrāpi dṛśyeta<br/> tat tenaiva vinirdiśet</i>",

If all the unqualified <i>śūdras</i> become so-called <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and <i>kṣatriyas,</i> social order will be impossible to maintain. Thus there will be discrepancies, human society will turn into a society of animals, and the situation all over the world will be hellish."

"In Vedic literature there are names like <i>mleccha</i> and <i>yavana.</i> The <i>mlecchas</i> are understood to be those who do not follow the Vedic principles. In former days, the <i>mlecchas</i> were fewer, and Viśvāmitra Muni cursed his sons to become <i>mlecchas.</i> But in the present age, Kali-yuga, there is no need of cursing, for people are automatically <i>mlecchas.</i> This is only the beginning of Kali-yuga, but at the end of Kali-yuga the entire population will consist of <i>mlecchas</i> because no one will follow the Vedic principles. At that time the incarnation Kalki will appear. <i>Mleccha-nivaha-nidhane kalayasi kara-bālam.</i> He will kill all the <i>mlecchas</i> indiscriminately with his sword."
