FAQs
Satya (truth) is attacked through mohana (delusion). The Ramayana’s dharmic lens treats deliberate mass-deception to enable violence as a mark of moral downfall.
Indrajit advances toward the Vānaras to execute a deceptive plan centered on the (illusory) killing of Sītā.
The Vānara side’s loyalty to Rāma (and to truth) is implicitly tested; Indrajit’s lack of restraint highlights the opposite of kṣānti (forbearance) and dharmic conduct.
