The puranas says that Maharishi Jamadagni(father of Parshuram) while meditating , Raja Sahastrabahu with his huge army reached the ashram .Maharishi Jamadagni welcomed the king and his army with huge respect and provided a magnificent hospitality to the King and to the huge army .The King was shocked that how could a saint (tapasvi) could afford the massive level of hospitality.

The king enquired and got to know that the reason for all the hospitality is a cow named Kamadenu. The King due to his greed wanted Kamadenu and to grab Kamadenu , the King killed Maharishi Jamadagni. The evil King also wanted to grab Devi Renuka (mother of Parshuram).
