āpapāta tha saṅkṛddho daśagrīveṇa coditaḥ | tīkṣṇa-kārmuka-nārācais tīkṣṇas tv indraripū raṇe ||6.80.19||
Bấy giờ, được Daśagrīva (Rāvaṇa) thúc giục, Indrajit—hung mãnh nơi chiến địa, mang cung tên sắc bén và những mũi lao nhọn—liền phẫn nộ xông thẳng vào trận.
Directed by the ten headed Ravana, enemy of Indra, equipped with sharp bows Indrajith rushed furiously.
Obedience to authority is not automatically dharmic; Dharma requires discernment—commands that fuel unjust aggression lead to further unrighteousness.
Following Rāvaṇa’s instigation, Indrajit advances aggressively into the fight, fully armed.
Martial ferocity and responsiveness to command—swift, forceful action under orders.
