Da, von Daśagrīva (Rāvaṇa) angetrieben, stürmte Indrajit—im Kampf grimmig, mit scharfem Bogen und widerhakigen Geschossen bewaffnet—zornentbrannt voran.
Directed by the ten headed Ravana, enemy of Indra, equipped with sharp bows Indrajith rushed furiously.
Obedience to authority is not automatically dharmic; Dharma requires discernment—commands that fuel unjust aggression lead to further unrighteousness.
Following Rāvaṇa’s instigation, Indrajit advances aggressively into the fight, fully armed.
Martial ferocity and responsiveness to command—swift, forceful action under orders.
