Jamadagni

Then Rama, the slayer of hostile heroes, came to the hermitage. The mighty-armed Jamadagni, of great austerities, told him, 'Kill your wicked mother without any hesitation, my son.'

Rama requested that his mother be brought back to life, that he not be haunted by the memory of this cruel act, that he not be affected by any sin, that his brothers regain their former state, that he be unrivalled in battle, and that he have a long life.
