Śrī Rāma took hold of the bow and bent it easily and fixing an arrow on it asked Paraśurāma to point out the target for it. As Paraśurāma feared that if the arrow was sent, it might crush the whole univese, he asked Rāma so choose the result of his (Paraśurāma's) tapas as target for the arrow. Both the bow and the arrow were of Viṣṇu's power. That power as well as his own Vaiṣṇava power, Paraśurāma transferred to Śrī Rāma. Paraśurāma went to Puṇyāśrama for permanent tapas.
