    II. There is a way out even after having committed such ghastly acts.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit.
    2. if only assumption II is implicit.
    3. if either I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.

I is implicit in the word penance---- an act to wash away one's sins. II is not implicit. Form the statement, we don't know whether the goods showed Parasuram the way out.
