Śrībhārgavarāghavīyam (Sanskrit: श्रीभार्गवराघवीयम्) (2002), meaning Of Parashurama and Rama, is a Sanskrit epic poem (Mahākāvya) made by Jagadguru Rambhadracharya (1950–) in 2002. It is made of 2121 verses in 40 Sanskrit and Prakrit metres and is separated into 21 cantos (Sargas) and each contains 101 verses. The epic is the story of the two Rama Avatars – Parashurama and Rama. This is found in the Ramayana and other Hindu books. Bhārgava is used for Parashurama, as he was born in the family of the religious teacher Maharishi Bhrigu, while Rāghava is used for to Rama as he was born in the royal family of king Raghu. The poet was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award for Sanskrit in 2005, and many other awards for this work.
