Lomasha said : O king of kings, listen to the history of Rama (Dasharatha's son) and also that of the intelligent (Parshurama), the descendant of Bhrigu. For the destruction of Ravana, Vishnu in his own body took his birth as the son of the illustrious Dasharatha. We then saw that son of Dasharatha when he had been born in Ayodhya.
लोमश उवाच शृणु रामस्य राजेन्द्र भार्गवस्य चधीमतः। जातो दशरथस्यासीत् पुत्रो रामो महात्मनः॥ विष्णुः स्वेन शरीरेण रावणस्य वधाय वै। पश्यामस्तमयोध्यायां जातं दाशरथिं ततः॥
