इन्द्रजित्-वधः
The Slaying of Indrajit
मण्डलीकृतधनूरावणिःसमतिञ्जयः ।।।।हरीनभ्यहनत्कृद्धःपरंलाघवमास्थितः ।
maṇḍalīkṛta-dhanū rāvaṇiḥ samitiñjayaḥ |
harīn abhyahanat kruddhaḥ paraṃ lāghavam āsthitaḥ ||
อินทรชิตผู้พิชิตในสงคราม กวาดคันธนูเป็นวงกลมด้วยความโกรธเกรี้ยว และโจมตีเหล่าวานรซ้ำแล้วซ้ำเล่าด้วยความรวดเร็วอย่างยิ่ง
Indrajith, a winner of combat, became highly furious and stretched his bow showing his skill easily struck at Vanaras.
Skill (kauśala) is morally neutral; dharma evaluates the purpose it serves. The epic repeatedly teaches that excellence must be aligned with righteousness.
Indrajit demonstrates extraordinary archery technique and overwhelms Vanara fighters.
Technical mastery and agility are emphasized—traits that become truly virtuous only when governed by dharma.
