SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

In as much as PoorNaavathAram of the Lord is revered,
the Amsa or AvEsha avathAram is also to be equally
considered. 21 generations, He as Lord ParasurAma
destroyed the kshathriyas due to their ahankaara, mama
kaaram [I and mine]. He has an axe in His Hand the axe
signifies that He is the Parathvam and He owns the
worlds and rules the world. None shall have ahankara,
mamakara that it belongs to them. He destroyed their
ahankaram and mamakarams; 

Being involved in such glorious avathAram and its
inner message, similarly Ramanuja taking the cue from
Lord Parasurama, preached to destroy our ahanakara
mama kara and conquer Samsaaric afflictions.  

kOkkula mannarai moovezu kaal,oru koormazuvaal
pOkkiya thEvanaip pORRum punithan puvanamengum
aakkiya keertthi iraamaa Nnuchanai atainthapin_en
vaakkurai yaathu, en manamnNinai yaathini maRRonRaiyE.

Emperumaanaar - Sri Ramanujacharya praises devotedly
Sri ParasurAmamuni, who had appeared to destroy the 21
generations of Kshathriya enemies with His sharp
plough. He (Sri Ramanuja) has got the best quality to
even correct the persons of lowly nature (like me) the
dirty minds to become one pure hearts. Parama pAvanar;
Having been blessed so and joined Sri Ramanuja Group,
I shall never ever talk anything else except about Sri
Ramanuja. My mind shall never ever think of anything
else.

oru koor mazhuvaal- with the help of only peerless
sharp axe; 
moo yezhukaal- 21 times
kOkulam mannarai- the kshatriya kula kings
pOkkiya-destroyed 
dEvanai- SarvEshwaran Sarva Swami 
pORRum punidhan- always worshipped, meditated, praised
by the pristinely Pure
bhuvanam engum aakkiya keertthi Iraamanusanai-
Iraamaanusan- who shined with fame and popularity
across the world everywhere 
adaindha pin- after taking refuge at the feet of
Ramanuja; 
maRRonRai ? there is nothing else
en vaakku uraiyaadhu ? My mouth will not utter
en manam ini ninaiyaadhu- my mind will not think.. 

What is it that we learn from this verse? Our mouth
should not utter anything or anyone else but Sriman
Narayanan and His glories. Our minds should not think
of anything or anyone else. If that happens it is not
correct. Amudhannar says: I am clear. My mind and vaak
will not go after anything else except Ramanuja and
His Lord Sriman Narayanan. He takes Parasurama
avathAram here for reference because even if it is His
aavEsha avathAram and he destroys the khsathriya kulam
21 times, there is a message and we should look into
that and NOT simply consider some lame excuse to seek
idhara devathas and devathantharams. At all times,
never ever consider others as Paradevatha.. All His
avathArams have a purpose and mission which is unique.


Extract from Sri Dileppan Swami?s posting: [as read
from Sri Ramadesikachariar?s commentary from
Dasavathara sothra] 

Parasuraama avadhaaram maRRa avadhaarangaLaip
pOnRadhanRu.  siRandha Or andhaNaridam
emperumaan than sakthi mudhaliyavaRRaip
pugach seydhu pala athisayach seyalgaLaich
seyviththaan?. 

Parasuramar's avadhaaram is different from the other
avathaarams.  Our Lord empowered an outstanding
brahmin and performed many spectacular deeds. 
Therefore, unlike other avathaarams, Parasurama
avathaaram is not a direct avathaaram of our Lord. 

[extracted from Sri N Krishnamachariar swami?s
translations] Reference in VishNu sahasranamam khaNDa
paraSuh- the nAma in terms of the paraSurAma
incarnation - where, as Jamadagni's son, He punished
His foes.  Alternatively, it is suggested that the
nAma can be taken as a-khaNDa paraSuh, He who wields
an invincible axe - the nAma being given as
a-kahaNDA-paraSuh in this case. 

Another reference is to tiruvAimozhi 6.2.10: 
ninRila'ngu muDiyinAi irupattOr kAl araSu kaLai kaTTa
venRi nIr mazhuvA. 

Oh Valorous One, The One who has the kireetam (crown)
on Your Head most victoriously! You took ParasurAma
avataar and angrily destroyed the KshatriyAs! The
Creator of the BhUlOkA! Even during this day, You
wished to save the cowherd group and appeared as
KrishNA! Oh Black Emerald stone! We are now suffering
due to Your deceitful talks and foul plays. (Even when
You come, we suffer because of Your mischief; When You
don't come also, we suffer]
