इन्द्रजितो यज्ञानुष्ठानं अन्तर्धानं च (Indrajit’s Rite and the Invisible Assault)
शस्त्राणिशरपत्राणिसमिधोऽथविभीतकाः ।लोहितानि च वासांहिस्रुवंकार्ष्णायसंतथा ।।।।
yady eṣa bhūmiṁ viśate divaṁ vā rasātalaṁ vāpi nabhassthalaṁ vā | evaṁ nigūḍho ’pi mamāstradagdhaḥ patiṣyate bhūmitalē gatāsuḥ || 6.80.42 ||
Even if he were to enter the earth, the heavens, Rasātala, or the vast expanse of the sky—though he remain concealed—burnt by my weapon he will fall upon the ground, his life spent.
Then, in that fire sacrifice, weapons as grass, wooden pieces as sticks for offering into fire, red-coloured clothes for the priests to wear, and so also iron containers as ladles to offer in fire were used.
Satya as steadfast assurance: the speaker’s commitment to neutralizing a grave threat is expressed as an unshakable resolve. In dharma terms, it is the determination to protect the righteous side by ending an unjust aggressor’s harm.
The speaker declares that no realm of hiding—earth, heaven, netherworld, or sky—will save the enemy from the weapon’s reach.
Unwavering resolve and confidence grounded in rightful purpose (niścaya).
