इन्द्रजितः अन्तर्धानयुद्धं
Indrajit’s Concealed Assault and the Fall of Rama and Lakshmana
तयोःक्षतजमार्गेणसुस्रावरुधिरंबहु ।तावुभौचप्रकाशेतेपुष्पिताविवकिंशुकौ ।।6.45.9।।
tayoḥ kṣatajamārgeṇa susrāva rudhiraṃ bahu |
tāv ubhau ca prakāśete puṣpitāv iva kiṃśukau ||6.45.9||
ان کے زخموں کے راستوں سے بہت سا خون بہہ نکلا؛ پھر بھی وہ دونوں بھائی یوں جگمگاتے تھے جیسے پھولوں سے لدے کنشک کے درخت۔
Indrajith who is ever victorious, pierced repeatedly arrows all over the body of Rama and Lakshmana.
A dharmic life can remain luminous even in suffering: the imagery suggests inner nobility and truth (satya) shining despite bodily harm.
After being pierced, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa bleed profusely, yet are described with a strikingly radiant simile.
Majesty and fortitude—dignity that remains visible even when wounded.
