इन्द्रजित्-वधः
The Slaying of Indrajit
तदैन्द्रमस्त्रंसौमित्रिःसम्युगेष्वपराजितम् ।शरश्रेष्ठंधनु: श्रेष्ठेविकर्षन्निदमिब्रवीत् ।।।।लक्ष्मीवान् लक्ष्मणोवाक्यमर्थसाधकमात्मनः ।
tad aindram astraṃ saumitriḥ saṃyugeṣv aparājitam |
śaraśreṣṭhaṃ dhanuḥśreṣṭhe vikarṣann idam abravīt ||
lakṣmīvān lakṣmaṇo vākyam arthasādhakam ātmanaḥ ||
そのときサウミトリ(ラクシュマナ)は、福徳に満ち、己が目的を成就せんとして、戦場にて無敗なるインドラの武器たる最上の矢を名弓に番え、かく言葉を発した。
Son of Saumithri, that prosperous Lakshmana, drawing Indra's missile, the foremost one, and also the best of arrows, which has never been defeated, spoke these words set to achieve the purpose.
Dharma here is purposeful action in service of righteousness: Lakṣmaṇa prepares a decisive act to remove a major threat to the just cause.
Lakṣmaṇa readies the undefeated Aindra weapon and begins a solemn declaration before releasing it.
Kṛtaniścaya (firm resolve) and focused duty: he acts with clarity to fulfill the mission aligned with Rāma’s dharma.
