He was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu.
He wanted to meditate.
He chose a place in, what is now Kerala,in the Western Ghats Govinda Mala.
When Parashurma threw his Axe to gain land for him to live, the Axe also cleaved the Western Ghats into two,Thenamala and Vada Mala(Southern Mountain and the Northern Mountain).
The Gap between the two ranges is Palakkad,Kerala.![]()
