इन्द्रजितो यज्ञानुष्ठानं अन्तर्धानं च
Indrajit’s Rite and the Invisible Assault
तौहन्यमानौनाराचैर्धाराभिरिवपर्वतौ ।हेमपुङ्खान्नरव्याघ्रौतिग्मान्मुमुचतुःशरान् ।।।।
tau hanyamānau nārācair dhārābhir iva parvatau | hema-puṅkhān nara-vyāghrau tigmān mumucatuḥ śarān || 6.80.29 ||
നാരാചബാണങ്ങളുടെ ധാരകളാൽ, മഴപ്പെയ്ത്തിൽ അടിയേറ്റ രണ്ട് പർവ്വതങ്ങളെപ്പോലെ പീഡിതരായ ആ നരവ്യാഘ്രവീരർ സ്വർണ്ണപക്ഷങ്ങളുള്ള തീക്ഷ്ണ അമ്പുകൾ വിട്ടു.
The tigers among humans, Rama, and Lakshmana, like two mountains hit by steel arrows, released sharp pointedgold shafted steel arrows and tormented (Indrajith).
Dharma here is steadfast duty: even when wounded, the righteous do not abandon their responsibility; they respond with controlled strength rather than surrender.
Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, struck by heavy nārāca volleys, continue fighting and shoot back with sharp, golden-fletched arrows.
Dhairya (fortitude) and śaurya (valor)—the capacity to act rightly and effectively despite injury and pressure.
