इन्द्रजितो यज्ञानुष्ठानं अन्तर्धानं च
Indrajit’s Rite and the Invisible Assault
अन्तरिक्षेसमासाद्यरावणिंकङ्कपत्रिणः ।निकृत्यपतगाभूमौसेतुस्तेशोणितोक्षिताः ।।।।
antarikṣe samāsādya rāvaṇiṃ kaṅkapatriṇaḥ | nikṛtya patagā bhūmau petus te śoṇitokṣitāḥ ||
เมื่อพุ่งเข้าประชิดบุตรแห่งราวณะในเวหา ศรเหล่านั้นราวกับมีปีก ก็เฉือนตัดแทงเขา แล้วชุ่มโชกด้วยโลหิตตกลงสู่พื้นดิน
The arrows fixed with swords like wings, reaching Ravana's son in the sky pierced him and he fell down soaked in blood.
A dharmic reading sees the battlefield as governed by karma: aggression and harm invite counter-force. The imagery of blood-soaked arrows underscores the grave consequences of violence.
Indrajit is engaged in aerial combat; arrows reach him in the sky, strike him, and then drop to the earth stained with blood.
Martial skill and precision (archery) are emphasized—effective response against a powerful aerial opponent.
