इन्द्रजित्-लक्ष्मणयुद्धम् तथा वानरप्रोत्साहनम् (Indrajit–Lakshmana Battle and the Rallying of the Vanaras)
ताभामुभाभ्यांतरसाप्रसृष्टैर्विशिखैःशितैः ।निरन्तरमिवाकाशंबभूवतमसावृतम् ।।।।
tābhyām ubhābhyāṃ tarasā prasṛṣṭair viśikhaiḥ śitaiḥ |
nirantaram ivākāśaṃ babhūva tamasāvṛtam ||
As both warriors hurled sharp arrows at great speed, volley upon volley without pause, the sky seemed continuously covered—shrouded as though by darkness.
while both of them one over the other swiftly extended and loosened the whetted arrows continuously, the sky, shrouded with arrows, became dark.
Dharma here is implicit: even amid violent conflict, actions have consequences and must be governed by disciplined intent. The image of the sky darkened by arrows warns that unrestrained aggression can eclipse clarity and right judgment.
A fierce exchange of arrows between two principal combatants (contextually, Lakṣmaṇa and Indrajit) becomes so intense that the sky appears covered.
Martial focus and unwavering resolve—steadiness under extreme pressure.
