इन्द्रजितः ब्रह्मास्त्र-यागः तथा वानरसेनाविध्वंसः (Indrajit’s Brahmastra Rite and the Crushing of the Vanara Host)
स्वयम्भुवादत्तवरोमहात्मा ।समाहितोन्तर्हितभीमकायः ।कथंनुशक्योयुधिनष्टदेहोनिहन्तुमद्येन्द्रजिदुद्यतास्त्रः ।।।।

“How can Indrajit be slain today in battle—he who has received boons from the Self-born (Brahmā), who is resolute, who hides his dreadful form, whose body is not visible, and who fights with weapons ever raised?”
"How can it be possible now to destroy that great Indrajith who is conferred with boons of invincibility by the creator Brahma, who is steadfast and is concealed in dreadful form with weapons uplifted?"
Dharma includes humility before reality: acknowledging an opponent’s extraordinary protections prevents reckless action and supports righteous, measured decision-making.
Rāma explains the difficulty of killing Indrajit because of boons and concealment during combat.
Discernment (viveka): Rāma evaluates the battlefield conditions and the enemy’s advantages without denial.
