इन्द्रजित्-वधः
The Slaying of Indrajit
तद्राक्षसतनूजस्यभिन्नस्कन्धंशिरोमहत् ।तपनीयनिभंभूमौददृशेरुधिरोक्षितम् ।।।।
tad rākṣasatanūjasya bhinnaskandhaṃ śiro mahat |
tapanīyanibhaṃ bhūmau dadṛśe rudhirokṣitam ||
首を断たれた羅刹の息子の巨大な頭は、血にまみれて地面に横たわっていたが、黄金のように輝いて見えた。
Trunk broken off, the huge head of Indrajith bathed in blood was seen on the earth shining like gold.
The verse reflects karmic consequence within dharmic narrative: even the splendid and powerful, when aligned against righteousness, meet a definitive end.
After the strike, the aftermath is described visually: Indrajit’s severed head lies on the ground, bloodied yet shining.
Implicitly, the steadfast pursuit of justice by the dharmic side—resulting in the fall of a major aggressor.
