As, I know that, when Lord Rama broke the Shiva-Bow,and for that reason Lord Parsuram came to the hall and challenge to the Lord Rama to war with him?Did they don't know each-other before that incidence they both are Visnu avatar ? anyone have some idea about it?.

  • Thanks for your reply brother, But it is totally different, my confusion is lord parsuram knew that lord rama is Vishnu avatar, before challenging him..? – Shree Krishna Jun 01 '16 at 11:04
  • @ShreeKrishna Similar questions (see this and this) were already asked regarding Rama, so I'd suggest to make this a question just about Parashurama. Else it might be closed as a duplicate. – Say No To Censorship Jun 01 '16 at 16:37
  • @sv now is it ok ?.. – Shree Krishna Jun 01 '16 at 16:39
  • @ShreeKrishna I may have misunderstood your question - so what you want to know is "Before he met Rama, did Parashurama know that Rama is a Vishnu avatar?" – Say No To Censorship Jun 01 '16 at 16:52
  • @sv My question is like mention in description, when Lord Rama broke the Shiv-Dhanus, so, that's why Lord Parsuram was very angry and go to the hall, and challenge to Lord rama for war, so, I am confusing whether lord pursuram didn't knew that Lord Rama is also incarnation of Lord Vishnu and also vice versa – Shree Krishna Jun 01 '16 at 18:13

There are different types of avataras - purna & avesha . Source

  • purna avatara (Rama) - Lord himself
  • avesha avatara : These itself are of 2 types :
    Parashurama (all powers of Lord endowed within a jivatma)
    Kartaviryarjuna (some powers of Lord endowed within a jivatma)

These are in decreasing order of shakti, so Rama defeated Parashuram who defeated Kartiviryarjuna.

So, yes, Parashurama realized that Rama was a purna avatar after he grabbed vishnu dhanus from him, and offered all his tapas to Rama realizing that his time was over, then went for more penance in mountains.
