Prashuram is the 6th incarnation/Avatar or Lord Vishnu.

The name "Parshu-Ram literally means "Axe-bearing Rama"

The GSBs trace their ancestors to Rigvedic Brahmins settled on the banks of the Saraswati river. When the river went underground/disappeared, these Brahmins started searching for new lands and a few clams reached Goud region - Bengal-Odisha and settled there.
