Shloka 6.45.3
इन्द्रजितः अन्तर्धानयुद्धं — Indrajit’s Concealed Assault and the Fall of Rama and Lakshmana
द्वौसुषेणस्यदायादौनीलंचप्लवगर्षपम् ।अङ्गदंवालिपुत्रंचशरभंचतरस्विनम् ।।6.45.2।।विनतंजाम्बवन्तंचसानुप्रस्थंमहाबलम् ।ऋषभंचर्षभस्कन्थमादिदेशपरन्तपः ।।6.45.3।।
teṣāṃ vegavatāṃ vegam iṣubhir vegavattaraiḥ |
astravit paramāstrais tu vārayāmāsa rāvaṇiḥ ||6.45.5||
But Rāvaṇi—skilled in weapons and master of supreme missiles—checked the onrush of those swift Vānaras with arrows swifter still.
Rama, the scorcher of enemies, ordered the two sons of Sushena, the best of Vanaras Neela, Jambavantha, Angada, as well as courageous Sarabha, Vinatha, and Hanumantha and Sanuprastha endowed with extraordinary might, also Rshaba and Rshaba Skanda.
The verse contrasts power with righteousness: martial skill can obstruct noble effort, reminding that dharma is not identical with mere capability.
Indrajit counters the Vānara search/charge by halting their momentum with faster arrows and superior weaponry.
On the Vānara side, persistence; on Indrajit’s side, technical mastery (though used in a larger context of concealment).
