इन्द्रजित्-हनूमद्-युद्धं तथा निकुम्भिलायां होमः (Indrajit vs Hanuman; Indrajit’s Nikumbhila rite)
शूलैःरशनिभिःखङ्गै: पट्टसै: कूटमुद्गरैः ।।।।तेचाप्यनुचरास्तस्यवानरान्जघ्नुराहवे ।
śūlaiḥ raśanibhiḥ khaṅgaiḥ paṭṭasaiḥ kūṭamudgaraiḥ | te cāpy anucarās tasya vānarān jaghnur āhave ||
And his followers too struck down the Vānaras in battle, wielding tridents, thunderbolt-like weapons, swords, axes, and heavy bludgeons.
In the battle, followers of Indrajith struck the Vanaras with tridents, asanis, swords, sharp edged spears, and kutamudgaras.
It underscores collective responsibility in war: not only leaders but followers participate in harm; dharma later demands accountability for chosen allegiance.
Indrajit’s troops join the fight with multiple weapon types, increasing casualties among the Vānara ranks.
Battle-readiness and coordinated aggression (though ethically misdirected if supporting adharma).
