इन्द्रजित्-हनूमद्-युद्धं तथा निकुम्भिलायां होमः
Indrajit vs Hanuman; Indrajit’s Nikumbhila rite
त्युक्त्वावानरश्रेष्ठोवारयन्सर्ववानरान् ।।।।शनैश्शनैरसन्त्रस्तस्सबलस्सन्यवर्तत ।
ity uktvā vānaraśreṣṭho vārayann sarvavānarān | śanaiḥ śanair asantrastaḥ sabalaḥ sa nyavartata ||
Setelah berkata demikian, yang terunggul di antara kaum Vanara menahan semua Vanara; tanpa gentar, bersama bala tenteranya, dia berundur sedikit demi sedikit.
Indrajith reaching Nikumbhilam, the sacrificial ground, poured oblation of blood into the sacrificial fire for Devatas and the fire blazed.
Dharma includes restraint and strategic discipline: courage is not recklessness; a leader must control troops and withdraw orderly when needed.
After issuing instructions, the Vanara leader prevents a chaotic rush and manages an organized retreat.
Composure under pressure—fearlessness combined with command and tactical prudence.
