इन्द्रजितः ब्रह्मास्त्र-यागः तथा वानरसेनाविध्वंसः
Indrajit’s Brahmastra Rite and the Crushing of the Vanara Host
आकुलांवानरींसेनांशरजालेनमोहिताम् ।।।।हृष्टस्सपरयाप्रीत्याददर्शक्षतजोक्षिताम् ।
ākulāṁ vānarīṁ senāṁ śara-jālena mohitām |
hṛṣṭaḥ sa parayā prītyā dadarśa kṣata-jokṣitām ||
彼はヴァーナラ軍を見渡した――混乱に陥り、矢の網に惑わされ、血に濡れたその姿を――そして大いなる歓喜に満たされて喜んだ。
Seeing the vast Vanara army deluded by the net of arrows, Indrajith was very happy.
Taking joy in others’ suffering is marked as a moral failure; dharma emphasizes compassion and restraint even amid conflict.
After wounding and disorienting the Vānara host, Indrajit surveys the damage and feels pleased.
The verse emphasizes a vice—cruel satisfaction—serving as an ethical contrast to the Ramayana’s dharmic ideals.
