इन्द्रजितः ब्रह्मास्त्र-यागः तथा वानरसेनाविध्वंसः
Indrajit’s Brahmastra Rite and the Crushing of the Vanara Host
जाम्बवन्तंतुदशभिर्नीलंत्रिंशद्भिरेव च ।सुग्रीवमृषभंचैवसोऽङ्गदंद्विविधंतथा ।।।।घोरैर्दत्तवरैस्तीक्ष्णैर्निष्प्राणानकरोत्तदा ।
jāmbavantaṁ tu daśabhir nīlaṁ triṁśadbhir eva ca |
sugrīvam ṛṣabhaṁ caiva so ’ṅgadaṁ dvividhaṁ tathā ||
ghorair datta-varais tīkṣṇair niṣprāṇān akarot tadā ||
接着,他用十支箭射中贾姆巴万(Jāmbavān),用三十支箭射中尼拉(Nīla),同样也射中了苏格里瓦(Sugrīva)、里沙巴(Ṛṣabha)、安加达(Aṅgada)和德维维达(Dvivida)——使用的是被神恩加持的锋利可怕的箭矢——使他们倒地昏迷,仿佛失去了生命。
Then he struck Jambavan with ten, Neela with thirty, and Sugriva, Rshaba and Angada. In the same way Dwivida with sharp and terrific arrows that were bestowed upon him as boons and made them lose consciousness.
Power ‘backed by boons’ is not automatically dharmic; the Ramayana repeatedly implies that legitimacy comes from satya and righteous ends, not from extraordinary weapons.
Indrajit incapacitates multiple leading Vānara allies—Sugrīva and others—by intense volleys.
Endurance is implied in the Vānara leaders’ continued participation despite grievous wounds; Indrajit’s side displays sheer might rather than moral virtue.
