प्रवेश-निवारणम् (Preventing Indrajit’s Banyan-Tree Rite) / Indrajit Confronts Vibhishana
तमुवाचमहातेजाःपौलस्त्यमपराजितम् ।समह्वयेत्वांसमरेसम्यग्युद्धंप्रयच्छमे ।।6.87.9।।
tam uvāca mahātejāḥ paulastyam aparājitam | samāhvaye tvāṃ samare samyag yuddhaṃ prayaccha me || 6.87.9 ||
随后,光辉炽盛的罗什曼那对那位不败的普罗拉斯提耶族裔说道:“我在战场上向你挑战;请赐我一场公正、当面相对的决斗。”
Lakshmana of extraordinary energy, spoke to Indrajith of the Paulastya clan," I challenge you to fight in battle directly. Fight with me."
The verse foregrounds yuddha-dharma: combat should be direct and fair, not deceptive—an appeal to righteousness even amid hostility.
Lakṣmaṇa confronts Indrajit and formally calls him to engage in straightforward battle.
Courage joined with moral clarity: Lakṣmaṇa’s fearlessness is paired with insistence on proper conduct.
