न्यग्रोध-प्रवेश-निवारणम् (Preventing Indrajit’s Banyan-Tree Rite) / Indrajit Confronts Vibhishana

अदृश्टस्सर्वभूतानांततोभवतिराक्षसः ।निहन्तिसमरेशत्रून् बध्नाति च शरोत्तमैः ।।6.87.5।।

adya te vyasanaṃ prāptaṃ kiṃ māṃ tvām iha vakṣyasi | praveṣṭuṃ na tvayā śakyaṃ nyagrodhaṃ rākṣasādhama || 6.87.28 ||

Today calamity has come upon you—what will you say to me here? You will not be able to enter the banyan, O worst of rākṣasas.

"Thereafter he becomes invisible for all beings and kills his enemies with the best of arrows and binds them."

V
Vibhīṣaṇa
I
Indrajit
N
Nyagrodha (banyan tree)

When adharma seeks power through occult advantage, dharma aims to block it; righteous resistance prevents the consolidation of unjust शक्ति (power).

Vibhīṣaṇa declares that Indrajit’s plan connected to the nyagrodha will fail—he will not reach the ritual refuge/goal.

Moral confidence grounded in truth—Vibhīṣaṇa speaks as one aligned with dharma and therefore certain about adharma’s collapse.
