Mahendra Parvata (mountain) and clean up

I was reviewing the disambiguation page Mahendraparvata (disambiguation) when I came across the mention of Mahendra Parvata (mountain) in this article, so I included reference to this article in the dab page. I am not an expert in this subject, and I do not really understand the Mythology section in the way it is currently written, so I have tagged the page for clean up.

Parashurama

Parashurama is the sixth avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism and he is one of the Chiranjeevis (long - lived), who will appear at the end of the Kali yuga to be the guru of Vishnu's tenth and last avatar, Kalki. He carried a number of traits, which included aggression, warfare and valor; also, serenity, prudence and patience. [1] He retired in the Mahendra Mountains, according to chapter 2.3.47 of the Bhagavata Purana.[25] He is the only Vishnu avatar who never dies, never returns to abstract Vishnu and lives in meditative retirement.[10] Further, he is the only Vishnu avatar that co-exists with other Vishnu avatars Rama and Krishna in some versions of the Ramayana and Mahabharata respectively.[10][note 4]
