राक्षसपरिषद्वाक्यम् — Counsel of the Rakshasa Court to Ravana
अनेनहिमहाराजमहेश्वरमनुत्तमम् ।इष्ट्वायज्ञंवरोलब्धोलोकेपरमदुर्लभः ।।।।
anena hi mahārāja maheśvaram anuttamam | iṣṭvā yajñaṃ varo labdho loke parama-durlabhaḥ ||
For he, O great king, having worshipped the supreme Maheśvara through sacrifice, obtained a boon—one exceedingly rare in the world.
"Oh! Great King! By performing supreme sacrifices, Indrajith obtained boons from Lord Maheswara, which are very difficult to get."
Divine favor and ritual power are not dharma by themselves; dharma depends on how power is used—boons become ethically meaningful only when aligned with righteousness and truth.
To strengthen morale, the speaker explains that Indrajit gained an exceptionally rare boon by worshipping Śiva through sacrifice.
Religious discipline and the capacity to obtain divine boons—paired with the implied responsibility to use such gifts rightly.
