इन्द्रजितः ब्रह्मास्त्र-यागः तथा वानरसेनाविध्वंसः (Indrajit’s Brahmastra Rite and the Crushing of the Vanara Host)
तस्मिन्नाहूयमानेस्त्रेहूयमाने च पावके ।।।।सार्धंग्रहेन्दुनक्षत्रैर्वितत्रासनभस्थ्सलम् ।
tasminn āhūyamāne 'stre hūyamāne ca pāvake | sārdhaṃ grahendunakṣatrair vitatrāsa nabhaḥsthalam ||
As that missile was being invoked and the fire-offering poured, the very expanse of the sky trembled in alarm—along with the planets, the moon, and the stars.
While the missile was being invoked and fire sacrifice was done, all planets, moon, Sun, and Stars in the sky shook in fear.
Actions driven by adharma disturb the wider order: the cosmos itself reacting underscores that unrighteous power-seeking has consequences beyond the battlefield.
Indrajit’s invocation is so formidable that celestial bodies are described as trembling, signaling an ominous escalation.
Not a virtue but a warning: unchecked ambition and misuse of sacred power is implicitly condemned by the omen-like cosmic fear.
