43.43

chittvā bāhusahasraṃ te prathamaṃ tarasā balī
tapasvī brāhmaṇaśca tvāṃ sa vadhiṣyati bhārgava //

Arjuna, who had a thousand arms, that looked like golden palm trees, had burnt the forest of the sage Âpava, at which the latter becoming enraged cursed him that Parasurâma would humble his pride and deprive him of his thousand arms, and that the same powerful ascetic, after cutting down his thousand arms, would also kill him.—41-43.
