FAQs

What is the core ethical principle (Dharma) in this verse?

The episode contrasts satya-oriented heroism (standing and fighting) with concealment through māyā; it suggests that adharma prefers evasion when confronted by steadfast dharmic force.

What is the narrative situation?

This is a repeated/numbered occurrence of the same event: Indrajit, after losing his chariot team, vanishes by illusion mid-battle.

Which character virtue is emphasized?

Aṅgada’s valor and tactical success; Indrajit’s defining quality is deceptive skill rather than open bravery.
