Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Satyavatī, however, pacified Ṛcīka and requested that her son not be a fierce kṣatriya. Ṛcīka Muni replied, "Then your grandson will be a kṣatriya.” Thus Jamadagni was born as the son of Satyavatī. The sage, pacified by his wife who did not want a kṣatriya son, then spoke. “Then your grandson will be a kṣatriya.” That grandson was Paraśurāma. Because of that, her son was Jamadagni.

Purport

The great sage Ṛcīka was very angry, but somehow or other Satyavatī pacified him, and at her request he changed his mind. It is indicated here that the son of Jamadagni would be born as Paraśurāma.
