सुन्दरकाण्डे अष्टपञ्चाशः सर्गः — हनुमद्वृत्तान्तकथनम्, सीताभिज्ञान-प्रदानम्, लङ्कादाह-वर्णनम्
तमक्षमागतं भग्नं निशम्य स दशाननः।तत इन्द्रजितं नाम द्वितीयं रावणस्सुतम्।।।।व्यादिदेश सुसंकृद्धो बलिनम् युद्धदुर्मदम्।
tam akṣam āgataṃ bhagnaṃ niśamya sa daśānanaḥ | tata indrajitaṃ nāma dvitīyaṃ rāvaṇas-sutam || vyādideśa susaṅkṛddho balinaṃ yuddha-durmadam ||
Hearing that Akṣa had been brought to ruin, the ten-faced Rāvaṇa flared up in fury; then he issued orders to his second son, named Indrajit—mighty and maddened with the pride of war.
"When Aksha was done to death, the ten-faced Ravana was enraged and gave instruction to the second son, called Indrajit who was thirsting for war.
The verse contrasts dharma with uncontrolled krodha: Rāvaṇa’s rage drives escalation, showing how anger clouds judgment and deepens adharma.
After Akṣa’s death, Rāvaṇa reacts and deploys Indrajit to confront Hanumān.
Negatively, it highlights the lack of self-restraint (dama) in Rāvaṇa; positively, it sets up Indrajit’s martial prowess as an impending challenge.
