इन्द्रजित्-वधः
The Slaying of Indrajit
ऋषयःपितरोदेवागन्धर्वगरुडोरगाः ।शतक्रतुंपुरस्कृत्यररक्षुर्लक्ष्मणंरणे ।।।।
ṛṣayaḥ pitaro devā gandharvagaruḍoragāḥ |
śatakratuṃ puraskṛtya rarakṣur lakṣmaṇaṃ raṇe ||6.91.65||
リシたち、ピトリ(祖霊)、デーヴァ(神々)、ガンダルヴァ、ガルダ、ナーガは、シャタクラトゥ(インドラ)を先頭に立て、戦場でラクシュマナを守護した。
As the frightful war between Vanaras and Rakshasas went on, many beings surrounded in the sky were astonished and looked charming.
The Ramayana repeatedly links divine support with righteous alignment: protection gathers around one who stands for dharma and truth-directed duty in a just cause.
As the duel intensifies, celestial classes—led by Indra—are described as guarding Lakshmaṇa.
Lakshmaṇa’s steadfast fidelity to Rama’s mission (satya in service and dharmic loyalty) is implicitly affirmed by the protective presence of divine witnesses.
