In the Tripura Rahasya, Dattatreya answers Parashurama through story and reason. Wise company, dispassion, trust, worship, and self-inquiry become successive movements in one journey.

Source clarity: The Hemachuda and Hemalekha episode occupies chapters 3 through 10 of the Tripura Rahasya.

Three stories from the Jnana Khanda are told here: Hemachuda and Hemalekha (chapters 3 to 10), Mahasena, who saw a world inside a hill (12 to 14), and Ashtavakra at Janaka’s court (15 and the opening of 16). Each story names its source passages.
