Vaishampayana said: "Having spent one night there, the lord of the earth, together with his brothers, paid the highest honor to the ascetics. Lomasha showed him all these ascetics: the Bhrigus, the Angirasas, the Vasishthas, and the Kashyapas. Having met them, the royal sage bowed, folded his palms, and asked the hero Akritavrana, Rama's companion: 'When will the blessed Rama appear to the ascetics? Taking this occasion, I wish to see Bhargava.' Akritavrana said: 'You have come, and this is already known to Rama, who knows himself. Rama is pleased with you and will soon show himself to you. The ascetics see Rama on the fourteenth and eighth days; when this night has passed, it will be the fourteenth day.' Yudhishthira said: 'You followed the mighty hero Jamadagnya and saw with your own eyes all his past deeds. Tell me, then, how Rama defeated all the kshatriyas in battle, in what manner and for what reason.'"

Yudhishthira approaches Parashurama not as a legend but through a witness. What matters to him is understanding the cause of the violence, not merely hearing of the hero's power.
