Mantra
Devanagari:
ॐ खण्डपरशवे विद्महे
दारुणाय धीमहि
तन्नो विष्णुः प्रचोदयात्
Transliteration:
Om Khandaparashave Vidmahe
Darunaya Dhimahi
Tanno Vishnuh Prachodayat

Om, may we know Parashurama wielding the battle-axe of justice,
And meditate deeply upon the stern corrector of those on the path of evil;
May Lord Vishnu illuminate our intellect.
