Parashurama was an Avatar of Vishnu.
It is a rare occasion when one Avatar of Vishnu comes face to face with another.
If my memory is correct, this is the only Avatar where one Avatar of Vishnu met another.
Parashurama met Lord Rama, who is also an Avatar of Vishnu met Ram after His marriage with Sita, while he was on His way to Ayodhya.
Parashurama was a Man who vowed to wipe out Kshatriyas for 21 Generations for Karthaviryaarjuna, a Kshatriya having killed His father Jamadagni.
He was more angry at Rama for Rama had broken the Bow, Shiva Dhanus at Sita’s Swayamwar, which was given by Him to Janaka, Foster Father of Sita.
He challenged Ram and Ram strung the Bow and asked Parashuram as to what would be the Target he would assign for The Arrow.
Ram reminded Parashurama that He would not kill a Brahmin and as Parashurama had already donated the Kingdoms won by
Him to Sage Kashyapa, He could not offer any land.
Parashurma asked Ram to aim at the results of His Good actions,Punya.
Ram did so.
Then Parashurama prays to the Lord of the Ocean, Varuna/Samudra Raja to provide Him land for Him to Live.
Varuna asked Him to throw His Axe into the Ocean and that Varuna would make the Ocean to recede and Parashurama can live in the Land thus
created.
Parashurama threw His Axe and the Land between Gokarn (now in North Karnataka) and the coastal belt of land up to Kanyakumari, now called Kerala.
The original name of Kerala is Parashurama Kshetra.
Parashrama settled here and He built 64 Villages.
32 are now in Karnataka, rest in Kerala.
Parasurama had consecrated 108 Shiva temples and 108 Durga temples .
Among these 216 temples, the Lord Shiva of Gokarnam Mahabaleswara Temple in the north and Goddess Kumari of Kanyakumari temple in the south were considered as the protectors of Kerala.
The first Shivalaya created by Parasurama was the Thrissivaperoor Vadakkunnatha Temple and the last one was the Thrikkariyoor Mahadeva Temple.

As chitpavan from Maharashtra and stonch follower of Lord Parshurama,I found your blog of great use,to know
unknown area of Lord Parshurama,
Now I know why train is named after him,which runs between TVC & MAQ,
Could I suggest you to take lead,try to talk with Southern Railway DRM Trvandrum,
and run it with the photo of Lord garlanded on 28 Apr 2017,
thats the day of Parshrama’s jayant.i
It’s the matter of sorrow that Chiplun thinks Lord is only of Chitpavan’s
Parshuram is considered Chiranjivee and he was present when Ved Vyasa, Krishna, Balram were alive. Ved Vyasa, Krishna, Balram all are described as incarnations of Lord Vishnu. As per my opinion to believe that all avataars (incarnations) of Lord Vishnu is only one supreme god is wrong. As no of tirthanakars in jainism shown are 24. Some fraudsters also tried to bring no of incarnations of Vishnu also to 24. As per my opinion, all incarnations of lord Vishnu as shown in different purans are different personalities but having some common good qualities which helped people/society of that time. Such good quality persons are than considered incarnations. Otherwise why god will take birth in three different bodies like Parshuram/Krishna/Balraam ? Do god has no supreme powers that he has to take birth in 3 different bodies at same time period? So purans are fake. Bhagwat Puran is written after death of lord Budhdha.
Divyangjee,faith is the power which runs world,
and such question is put only when one has proof to prove his her claims,
till then research is the only option,
hope you will change your mind and words,
during times to come.
as soldier I think it’s his power which made him to take birth in 3 bodies at a time,
cause with Air power,Sea support victory comes in only when there is land force,
that too infantry man to hoist the flag of VICTORY,
It’s my way of thinking,
you are free to think your way.
